Book Reviews of The U.S. Constitution: And Fascinating Facts About It
Book Review: "Our Constitution is an actual operation." (Ben Franklin)
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm ashamed to say that in my otherwise very decent public school education, I don't recall ever really studying the Constitution of the United States of America. There was never time in American History; it did not fit with economics, and all the other social studies courses were world history. I've learned about the Articles and Amendments as current events warranted. Having now sat down with this edition, I see that I missed a lot. It truly is a living document and the framers of the Constitution were truly brilliant. And graceful writers.
This edition includes the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence and information about the structure and procedures of the Supreme Court. Additionally, it offers thumbnail sketches of the major players among the Founding Fathers, quotes and other facts. My favorite unexpected segment: the list of proposed amendments that never made it (and for the most part,we should all be very grateful).
This edition is compact; its print is small, but not too small for this far-sighted reader. It is perfect for slipping into a pocket, a purse or a backpack. And, it is indispensable for making sense of our current national events.
