While Patriots repeatedly complain that progressives ignore the U.S. Constitution with impunity, ***The Patriot Quest*** shows in reality that there is only strict construction of the Constitution, and those who act contrary to the spirit of the Constitution are, surprisingly, the ones who necessarily hold its letter up to its strictest terms. To back up that claim, ***The Patriot Quest*** examines the precedent-setting 1871 Supreme Court case which first upheld paper currencies as legal tender (despite earlier court rulings which upheld a legal tender of only gold and silver coin). Understanding how the federal government acts in this particular case actually allows Patriots to understand how government acts "in all Cases whatsoever” with arbitrary power which has defied all previous attempts to limit it. With the knowledge of how omnipotent government has been successful to date, a blueprint may thankfully be formed to finally Restore Our American Republic once and for all; to reclaim limited government operating again under strict construction of the whole Constitution, the likes of which America has not seen for 150 years.
