Description ▲
This is true:What you think you know about the Constitutuion of the UNited States is probably false...even-and especially-if you are well educated. Twelve years ago, a book appeared which told the story of the lords of wealth and their glittering clans. It was titled The Rich and the Super-Rich. It has become a classic. Since then , Ferdinand Lundberg has devoted himself to research and writing on a subject not unrelated to the domains of wealth:the United States Constitution. hat he found was material hitherto concealed from most readers and believers in the Constitution. What he concludes is that the Constitution is an unrestricted instrument of government that carries within it powers more vast than its citizens imagine-and that it is defective. Lundberg points out that because it is unrestricted, it conveys, for example, unlimited taxing powers. Unlimited. Another example:It conveys unlimited power to "raise armies"-any sort of armies,domestic or foreign. The President may use these armies anywhere. As for who goes into the armies, the government determines that. It can put anyone into the armies and keep them there as long as it wishes:for life if it so determines.
