\"In this new book, Richard Epstein shows how Progressives saw in constitutional interpretation an opportunity to advance their political agenda. They transformed a Constitution that showed at every turn the influence of John Locke and James Madison into one that reflected the ideas of the leading intellectuals of their own time. They did not understand the political theory of the document. As a result, they rewrote, because they did not understand, key provisions of the constitutional text. As Epstein writes, the Progressives \"were determined that their vision of the managed economy should take precedence in all areas of life How Progressives Rewrote the Constitution explores the fundamental shift in political and economic thought of the Progressive Era and how the Supreme Court was used to transform the Constitution into one that reflected the ideas of their own time, while undermining America's founding principles
