Exploring the deep-rooted distrust of government in American culture, the author analyzes historical events from the colonial revolt to modern tax revolts and militia movements. By challenging widely held beliefs about the Founding Fathers and the Constitution, he argues that current antigovernment sentiment stems from misconceptions about history. This critical examination reveals how misinterpretations of the past contribute to a misguided disdain for elected officials, prompting readers to reconsider their views on governance and civic responsibility.
