For several years I have used Chapter 13, entitled, "A Sensible and Timely View of a Certain Constitutional Question" as a part of a senior high school course. I have never seen a more concise, practical lesson on the evils of good legislators spending hard working peoples' money on the legislators' own whims. We never see in history as it is presented today, how knowledgeable and honest Congressman Crocket was. The book is more than worth the price just for the wealth of valuable knowledge in this one chapter. But the rest of the book will entertain you too! You owe it to yourself as a voter, if for no other reason, to have your own copy of this book. Be glad that you can buy this reprint. A few short years ago this gem could only be found at old book stores---if you were lucky!

I agree with the other reviewer and Chapter 13 is truly worthwhile. Especially at the present time where congress is dumping trillions of taxpayer dollars into failing companies that brought it upon themselves through greed and stupidity. Chapter 13 basically demonstrates that it is unconstitutional for them to do what they are currently doing, i.e. giving charity from our tax dollars.

The rest of the book, although well written, does not have anymore of these gems and is merely about his life. This fact kept me from giving 5 stars.
