""New Views of the Constitution"" is a book written by John Taylor that offers a fresh perspective on the United States Constitution. The author argues that the Constitution was intended to be a document that limited the power of the federal government and protected the sovereignty of the states. He also contends that the Constitution was not a perfect document and that it required amendments to address certain issues, such as the protection of individual rights. Taylor's book challenges the prevailing views of the Constitution at the time it was written and offers a unique interpretation of its meaning and purpose. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, or constitutional law.Let us suspend the consideration of contemporaneous testimony, and concisely review the ground we have passed over.

Suppose the states to have been alarmed by the exhibition, and to have remonstrated against the project. That this would have been the case, is demonstrated by the credentials to their deputies, and the opinions annexed to their ratifications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest songs of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single 'Planet Earth' right up to their latest number one album All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet.It's been a ride - and for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling... and dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story - a tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons conquered. A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn't an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first name and picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the spring of 1978, and they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a worldwide hit. In his frank, compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs - hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and even James Bond; dating Vogue models and driving fast cars - all the while playing hard with the band he loved. But he faced tough battles ahead - troubles that brought him to the brink of self-destruction - before turning his life around.Told with humour, honesty and hard-won wisdom, and packed with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire... and came through the other side.
