(Charles Wheeler) 1864 1934 Pierson, Charles Wheeler 22018929 Our Changing Constitution Produced by John Hagerson, Kevin Handy, Linda Cantoni, and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Our Changing Constitution" by Charles W. Pierson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the evolution of the United States Constitution, particularly focusing on the changing dynamics between state and federal powers and the implications of this shift for American governance. The opening of the book introduces the notion that while many citizens view their government and Constitution as stable and fixed, significant changes are occurring beneath the surface. Pierson discusses how perceptions of dual state and federal sovereignty are evolving, leading to a diminishing emphasis on states rights. He outlines the central aim of the work, which is to analyze these transformations in a detailed manner. Furthermore, he sets the stage for a deeper examination of specific constitutional changes, such as the adoption of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments, and considers the historical context that has contributed to these significant developments in American constitutional law.
