[.ca] Us Constitution For Everyone (ISBN 0399513051)

You'd be better off reading the constitution online:
I'm a real constitution buff and wanted to get a book that was a great reference for the constitution. The book was obviously not it. Basically I paid for a scaled-down version of the Constitution with very very basic interpretations of the amendments and articles. The fourth amendment is explained in three lines. There is no thought put into this book, hince it's only ~60 pages, with about 10-15 pages used for credits and table of contents. If you're looking for a copy of the constitution and only need the basic version, get online and print it off any site. Don't waste your money getting this book.

The document revealed in simplicity for everyone!:
Until I read this book I had no idea that our current monetary system violated Article One Section 8b! Our system is DEBT based while the Constitution only allows borrowing based upon CREDIT. This book outlines the whole Constitution which I had never read before this. A book which every concerned American needs to have in their house!

Informative and entertaining:
I am no constitutional scholar, but I have made a point of knowing what the Constitution says, and what its framers had to say in the Federalist papers. My attempts to get others to read the Constitution have met limited success, and I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to make it as painless as possible for them. THIS BOOK WILL DO IT. The text of the Constitution on the left page, and Gerberg's running commentary with explanations, cross references to other sections, and background anecdotes on the right make this a readable addition to anyone's library. We have several copies of the Constitution in different formats in our library. This edition will have a permanent spot on our shelf.

Highly recommended:
As a lawyer, I studied constitutional law in law school. Nonetheless, I find this pocket copy of the US Constitution to be extremely valuable. Notes and annotations on the facing pages make the constitution easy to navigate for even the novice. Everyone should read the Constitution from beginning to end and with the commentaries in this short book, our fundamental law is understandable to all readers. I highly recommend it.

A great little reference:
While not being overly ambitious, this little book explains the meanings of the most important parts of the US Constitution and its amendments and puts them in historical perspective at the same time. It is most revealing to know what a founding father's reason was for suggesting a certain clause or section that defines our not quite a democracy. This is a great quick reference to keep on hand.
