U.S. History

"The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution"

Brion McClanahan

About the Program

Brion McClanahan examines the U.S. Constitution and presents his thoughts on the authors of the document's original intentions and whether its current interpretation should be rigid or flexible.  Mr. McClanahan contends that the Nation's Founders were in support of Congress as the dominant branch of the government, against a large, national government, and drafted the Constitution to support rather than weaken the States.  Brion McClanahan speaks at Cattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City, Alabama.
