Journey Toward A More Perfect Union

When a time machine is invented, a young journalist's dream to travel back to America's founding with a mission to alter the constitution is about to begin! Once transported to spring, 1775, we experience founding American life through the eyes, ears, and heart of Alex Bache-Ben Franklins' descendent. Struggling over 12 years, he must adapt to the culture and living standard, and survive the Revolutionary War, while concealing his true identity. Alone and without a plan-with his 21st century foresight, he must find a way to access the circles of influence and persuade the Founders to alter the Constitution to create a more perfect union. Along his arduous journey, Alex learns the truth of the Founders' constitutional intentions, views of human nature, government, power, liberty, rights, slavery, popular democracy, republics, property, taxation, debt, religion, theocracy, deism, two rival Constitutional plans, their diverse backgrounds, personalities, faith, fears, character, tavern hangouts, and more. This book combines documented historical facts with Spielbergesque drama and humor. It will take you on an adventure where you will experience colonial Philadelphia life and America's true Christian founding, including informative discussions of political theory applied to the founding times, and ours. This epic, hybrid fictional story combines fact and fiction, history and politics, is filled with famous and obscure Founder quotes, and innovative constitutional and policy ideas for today. If you are concerned over America's future, love American history, and Spielbergs' Back to the Future movies, this illustrated, dramatic, political history book is for you!
