“Joseph Ellis is right: the U.S. Constitution resulted from what Ellis terms a ‘Second American Revolution’ (explain fully what he means by the term) and hence should be understood as a fundamental departure from the original American republic of 1776. In short, Abraham Lincoln was wrong in his Gettysburg Address: America’s ‘Founding Fathers’ did not ‘bring forth a new nation’ in 1776 in any true or lasting sense. It took the Constitution to do that.”
