Journey Toward A More Perfect Union

Travel to America's Founding to Alter the Constitution!

About this book

When scientists invent the world's first time machine, and selects a young American journalist, history buff, and descendent of Ben Franklin, to travel back to colonial Philadelphia to fulfill his noble mission of creating a more perfect Constitution and union, his lifelong dream is about to begin. Once transported, he meets America's Founders, experiences colonial Philadelphia life, and the Revolutionary War. He also learns about James Madison's Virginia Plan, the great historical controversy behind Charles Pinckney's rival constitutional plan, North Carolina's mysterious Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, Ben Franklin's dysfunctional family relations and evolving religious faith, the reason why the Founders chose not to free the slaves, Alexander Hamilton's outrageous executive office proposal, Thomas Jefferson's views of human nature and government-and much more! Alone and without a plan or social connections, he must overcome all obstacles to achieve his mission. The book includes professional handwriting analyses of Madison and Jefferson, an altered, more perfect Constitution, and much Spielberesque humor and drama.

If you love American history, are concerned over the state of our nation, and love Spielberg's Back to the Future movies, you'll love this book!
