000751468 520__ $$aLife in the United States today is vastly different from anything the original Founders could have imagined in the late 1700s. The notion of an African-American president of the United States, or a woman as Secretary of State would have been unimaginable to the men who wrote and ratified the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Williams examines the lives of the men and women in the 20th century who have extended the Founding Fathers' original vision of the country and reshaped what America is.
