The Constitution of the United States begins with the words "we the people". But from the earliest days of the American republic, there have been two competing notions of "the people", which led to two very different visions of the Constitution. Those who view "we the people" collectively think popular sovereignty resides in the people as a group, which leads them to favor a democratic constitution that allows the will of the people to be expressed by majority rule. In contrast, those who think popular sovereignty resides in the people as individuals contend that a republican constitution is needed to secure the preexisting inalienable rights of "we the people", each and every one, against abuses by the majority.

In Our Republican Constitution, renowned legal scholar Randy E. Barnett tells the fascinating story of how this debate arose shortly after the Revolution, leading to the adoption of a new and innovative republican constitution, and how the struggle over slavery led to its completion by a newly formed Republican Party.

Narration was okay. It would help if the narrator wouldn’t try different accents when quoting others. It’s not fiction. It’s a book about a serious topic. Also, there’s an error in the last chapter where the author called the 19th amendment, the 20th - it could be just a typo because the error exists in both written and audio version of the book.

Narration isn’t great but the book is

Somewhat complicated but a must read to discover the history of the changing interpretations of the meaning of "We The People" In this book, Democrat and Republiican only refer obliquely to our current parties, instead, here Republican refers to an interpretation of "We The People" as the citizens of the US as individual sovereigns whereas Democrat interprets the phrase as the citizenry enmass as the sovereign, or in other words, the majority of the citizenry. Democratic interpretation gives priority to the people as a single body, allowing for loss of individual rights, Republican interpretation gives priority to the individual's rights. The author then proceeds to show how the different interpretations have ebbed and flowed in dominance.

Must reaf for all Libretarion leaning individuals

Randy Barnett isn’t just a strong writer, he’s also a skilled oral advocate. I highly recommend listening to his debates on YouTube. I disagree slightly with him on one thing: Paul Clement may have been the obvious choice to argue NFSB, but Barnett would make a skilled advocate and he should have split time. After all, they had four days! And Clement didn’t even argue day 1 on the AIA. The Narrator RUINED the audiobook so I order the hardback (also from Amazon- since Bezos isn’t rich enough). Not surprised tho- these moronic readers seem yo always try to act out serious topics as if the listener was a child. All they succeed at is selling hard copies. If I were Barnett I would have fired the guy on day one. I only gave him 1 star because Amazon wouldn’t let me post 0- which, frankly, I felt was already generous.

Substantive content of the book is interesting and thoughtfully prepared but the narration is awful and seriously detracts from an otherwise great book.

The narration is terrible and very distracting.

This is a solid book but my be a little tough for non-lawyers or those not familiar with some of the more arcane aspects of our government. It was almost ruined by awful narration.

Worst Narrator

I like this book, and it's idea. It has helped me think about the constitution more clearly. The writing is a little repetitive, but in an audiobook it is not bad.
The narrator is a little uneven in tone. He marks out changes in speakers with inflection, but it comes across funny and not very helpful.

Excellent premise, decent book, ok narration.

I really enjoyed this. I am someone looking to get to facts without listening to a left or right leaning interpretation. The idea of natural rights and a government that is supposed to uphold those rights before all else is an idea that's been lost on many of our Justices. I did listen to passages a few times as getting the logic behind Barnett's argument isn't automatic. But once you get it the rest falls in to place. My only criticism was the narrator. First, not easy subject matter to read I am sure. But with this book as well as others I've listened to on Audible there is this annoying tendency for the narrator to change his voice when he is quoting someone. In this particular book he rotates accents and pitches as he quotes different people. Really irritating. Please - you don't have to use whatever you think might be an early colonial accent when quoting the Founders - we're not in pre-school and you aren't reading us the Three Little Pigs.

Barnett nails it.
