What I liked most about this book was how it covered the entire Constitution in detail while emphasizing the more relevant portions. The explanations were easy to understand and I especially liked the author’s commentary on the more controversial issues particularly the 4-5 or 5-4 Supreme Court decisions. This is a book that anyone who wants to become more Constitutional literate should read.
Even though I can recommend the book reading it caused me to be dishearten with Constitution. The author points out numerous examples of sinister machination that politicians have used to circumvent the concept of natural law. To make matters worst, it seems that the Constitution itself is not clear on the meaning of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I can only conclude that either the Constitution permits an unjust government or it is powerless to prevent it, in either case it is unfit to exist.
Rating: 4 / 5
I’m sending this book to my two extremely liberal senators and Barack Obama. Maybe then they’ll understand what the Constitution actually says.
Rating: 5 / 5
Complete, including entire text of Constitution, understandable, interesting. You’ll be less of a dummie after you read it.
