People after reading what some think what the constitution means....to get a better idea they might want to try reading

“The Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 by James Madison”

http://www.constitution.org/dfc/dfc_0000.htm

These are detailed day by day journals of the constitution convention as constitution was written.

It gives the reason behind each article… start your read from the first day and find out many surprising things.

Very interesting stuff. But written by just one person and necessarily colored by his perspective. And if the minutes as written constituted the entire session, the sessions didn't last very long.
