I am seeking to learn more about the U.S. Constitution, original intent, and the way it has been interpreted, misinterpreted and amended over the years. While I suspect the best books will have a far-right/libertarian slant, I don't want to insulate myself from other points of view. I'd like to start in the middle of the road, actually. Anyway, can anyone recommend some worthwhile books, and classify them by the authors' bias or lack thereof?
So far the only book I can remember reading about it is Miracle at Philidelphia, by Catherine Drinker Bowen which is a narrative of the Constitutional Convention and the ratification. Also, I have read the Fed. Papers. Oh, yes, I have read the document itself a few times! While not strictly a book on the Constitution, I have also read Felix Morley's intriguing Freedom and Federalism, which I recommend.
Federalist papers are nice and all, but you haven't lived until you've read the Anti-Federalist Papers.
