Everything You Know About the Constitution Is WrongUncover the shocking truth about the Constitution's original intent-and how nearly everything Americans believe about it today is wrong.

In Money and Liberty: How the Framers' Obsession with Protecting Your Money Shaped the Constitution, seasoned journalist and speechwriter Rick Lynch tears down the myths of modern constitutional thinking to expose a stunning truth ignored in political history books: The U.S. Constitution was built first and foremost to protect your money-not just your speech, your religion, or your guns. Your property-your paycheck-was the sacred right the Framers most feared the government would steal.

Drawing from the Federalist Papers, Convention records, and the Framers' own words, Lynch presents a bold, evidence-rich reinterpretation of our nation's founding. Diving into the very foundation of American democracy,

Money and Liberty delivers a thunderclap of clarity and reveals the real meaning of the Constitution. Learn why the Framers rejected the Bill of Rights, how they saw money as a sacred right, and why they believed economic freedom-not freedom of speech or religion-was the cornerstone of liberty.

Inside, you'll discover:

Why the Bill of Rights was rejected as a ""preposterous"" and ""dangerous"" idea. How the Framers equated money and freedom with divine law. Why money and property are mentioned in the Federalist Papers 17 times more often than speech, press, and religion combined. How a welfare program led to the Constitutional Convention. Why protecting property rights was not only the heart of the Constitution-but the key to true liberty.

This is more than constitutional interpretation-it's a call to reclaim your most overlooked freedom: the right to your own money. If you've ever wondered how we got so far off course, Money and Liberty delivers a history lesson on the United States government and American freedom you won't be able to forget.
