Constitution

[close] This Teaching American History grant project will deal with the great constitutional issues of the 20th and 21st centuries in the United States.

[close] Welcome! It is an easy time to sit around and be frustrated with our system. Everyone talks about it. Conversations revolve around statements like, "They've totally corrupted the government" or "We have to get our system back on track." But what would you do about it? More interestingly, if you were cast into the role of one of the authors of the Constitution, what would you do differently to ensure a government truly focused on the needs of the people and the country? I have posed these questions to myself, as well as the natural followup questions: OK, if you have a better idea, how could it be brought about? Who would fight it? What other forces might be out there attempting to do something similar? And, left unchecked, where does the current system end up? If you have ideas or references to books that help answer this question please let them be known.

[close] Would like to have a group that discusses historical documents and things. At first was thinking just focused on the Constitution, The Federalist Papers, and related documents. Looking for a very friendly and open dialog on such items. But all historical documents from the a legal but also layman perspective.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.
