    Next July, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding, a milestone set to be celebrated across the country. American history will serve as the centerpiece of many of these events, with the semiquincentennial offering a chance to reflect on the nation’s triumphs and failures alike. But the question of which stories will be told—and how they’ll be framed—remains a point of contention.

    This debate over how to tell American history is unfolding at a “moment that people have described as existential, certainly a moment of division,” documentarian Ken Burns told Smithsonian magazine earlier this month, in a wide-ranging interview about his new American Revolution series on PBS. “Maybe there could be some understanding that during this revolutionary period, we were more divided than we are now. And maybe by going back and reinvesting some time in this origin story, we’ll be able to put the ‘us’ back in the U.S.”

    Against this backdrop, the ten history books we’ve chosen to highlight this year serve a dual purpose. Some reflect on the fraught nature of the current moment, detailing how the nation’s past—including the American Revolution and the creation of the U.S. Constitution—informs its present and future. Others offer a respite from today’s reality, transporting readers to places like Tudor England and ancient Egypt. From a biography of Amelia Earhart to the story of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, these are ten of Smithsonian magazine’s favorite history books of 2025.

    We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution by Jill Lepore

    Jill Lepore’s 700-page history of the U.S. Constitution revolves around a central conceit: that this founding charter, written by a group of white men in Philadelphia 238 years ago, was never meant to be a static document. As Lepore, a historian at Harvard University and staff writer at the New Yorker, writes in We the People, “Through experiment and experience, Americans came to agree that if such a strange, fragile thing as a written constitution were to endure, it would, as time passed … need to be both revised and repaired, improved and updated.”

    This argument runs counter to originalism, a theory that promotes interpretation of the Constitution as it was understood at the time it was written. In Lepore’s view, originalists “rely on an artificially bounded historical record that disadvantages the descendants of people” who had no say in the creation of the Constitution, including women, the enslaved and Native Americans. Legal scholars rely on the published writings of powerful men to debate the Constitution, she argues. But historians must consider the opinions of those who didn’t serve as delegates to the Constitutional Convention and had no way of publishing their opinions in 1787. “For the historian,” Lepore writes, “unpublished documents written by less powerful people do not ‘count for nothing,’” as former Solicitor General Robert Bork argued in 1990. “In fact,” she says, “they count for rather a lot.”

    We the People builds on the Amendments Project, an initiative Lepore spearheaded that tracks more than 11,000 amendments proposed in Congress between 1789 and 2022. The vast majority of these efforts never came to fruition, with just 27 amendments ratified by the states since 1791. But that doesn’t mean the failed proposals are insignificant: As Lepore tells the Guardian, “It’s so hard to amend the Constitution. If you look at efforts to do it, you just see this really big, colorful canvas of contestation, which is narratively rich and politically important.” Written in lyrical prose, Lepore’s new book unpacks this history, presenting a timely argument about the need for the Constitution to keep evolving to meet society’s needs.

  9. A quotation from John Adams

    The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the inspiration of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the sense.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of The United States of America, Vol. 1, Preface (1787)

  12. 6 surprising #facts about the #DeclarationofIndependence

    fastcompany.com/91147830/july-

    The nation’s #founding document failed to achieve its most immediate goal, but in time #abolitionists and #feminists shifted its focus to #humanrights, transforming it into arguably the most consequential #freedom document ever composed.

  13. It's tragically 'funny'

    #America (as a nation) born in rebellion against a #monarchical #dictatorship
    paying freedom and #Democracy
    with blood.
    '#Founding #Fathers' created gardrail (The #US #Constitution)
    to prevent political/religious dictatorship from being re-established
    Today
    ONLY 6 people are enough (the #SCOTS)
    'decide' to give back 'Immunity' to a single person
    (practically authorize -absolute power- dictatorial 'monarchy')
    erasing in an instant
    the very soul of America.
    ...
    easy...
