About the Book

The United States Constitution was a concerted response to an age of tyrannical kings and highly centralized government. As history reveals, such political authority had to be challenged directly - by local units and causes - to preserve liberty and ensure public happiness.

Compact of the Republic demonstrates that the Constitution did not impose a nationalist, superlative central government, and was not ratified by "one American people" in the aggregate. Instead, the document was the product of a multi-party arrangement, where the states remained the masters of their own creation and the pillars of the federal system.

In Compact of the Republic, historian David Benner:

*Reveals that representatives were assured that delegated power could be reclaimed by the states following acts of federal overreach and usurpation

*Explains the historical foundation behind the Bill of Rights, and traces the limitations on government to the actions of malevolent kings

*Proves the Constitution acknowledges the states in the plural, as a collection of sovereign societies with varied interests

*Demonstrates that the "elastic clauses" were clearly explained during the ratification campaign, and leave no room for modern reinterpretation

*Describes how the federal judiciary now overturns state laws it has no jurisdiction over, to the contrary of its original scope of power

*Explains why Thomas Jefferson and James Madison believed that unconstitutional federal laws had to be opposed, nullified, and obstructed by the states

*Illustrates that ratification was secured only by convincing opponents of the Constitution that the document would produce a nominal general government with limited, enumerated powers
About the Author: David Benner speaks regularly in Minnesota on topics related to the United States Constitution, founding principles, and United States history. He contributes articles to The Tenth Amendment Center, Abbeville Institute, and several local publications. David is an unbridled advocate and defender of the compact view of the Constitution as espoused by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. He recognizes that the Constitution was not ratified by "one people," but by several distinctly sovereign entities through state ratification, which gave the Constitution legally binding status. David denies and refutes modern interpretations that claim the Constitution is a "living document" that grants the federal government a vast reservoir of "implied" powers.
