Tara Ross

Tara's second book, Under God: George Washington and the Question of Church and State(with co-author Joseph C. Smith, Jr.), has been released. More information on Under God is available through Tara's publisher, Spence Publishing. The book can be ordered from Amazon.
	Publisher’s Description: No American living in 1800 would have predicted that Thomas Jefferson s idiosyncratic views on church and state would ever eclipse those of George Washington let alone become constitutional dogma. Yet today's Supreme Court guards no doctrine more fiercely than Jefferson's antagonistic wall of separation between church and state. Washington's sharply contrasting views, explored in this path-breaking new book, suggest a more reasonable interpretation of the First Amendment, one that is consistent with religion’s importance to the enterprise of democracy.


Tara's first book, Enlightened Democracy: The Case for the Electoral College, was released in 2004. More information on Enlightened Democracy is available below or through Tara's publisher, Colonial Press.
	Publisher’s Description: Many Americans mistakenly believe that the Electoral College is relevant only in presidential election years. Enlightened Democracy proves them wrong. Instead this book demonstrates that the Electoral College is merely one expression of core constitutional principles: Federalism. States’ rights. A republican form of government. Enlightened Democracy will do more than help you learn about the Electoral College. It will also help you to understand the basic tenets that undergird America’s republican democracy. And you’ll even learn a little history along the way.
