Overview
We've all heard that the US Constitution is a "living document". What, exactly, does that mean to us today? How can we possibly relate to a document that was written hundreds of years ago? Darryl Murphy's Tropospheric Politics explains all that and more in his unique examination of the Amendments to the United States Constitution. His frank and pure writing style enables the study of the nuances of the Constitution's reality like never before told. Inside Tropospheric Politics, the history behind the history of the United States Constitution is revealed. We learn not only about the Amendment process, but we also gain an understanding about who holds the real power in the United States. Learn about the story behind one's freedom of speech, freedom of religion and right to bear arms. The book features individuals like Titus Oates and his role in the Popish Plot and the Eighth Amendment, Wayne Wheeler, a pioneer in the Lobbying business and main proponent of the Eighteenth Amendment. Meet Alice Paul and other brave and determined women who endured to see the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Indeed, Tropospheric Politics illustrates how the Amendments transform the Constitution of the United States into a living document. Darryl Murphy, the Author of Three Blind Mice, Three Presidents Before Lincoln and the Decade of the 1850s, spearheaded the historical genre, "The history you didn't learn in school". He is a graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy and Johnson C. Smith University.
