Understand your Constitution - You'll be a better citizen,

This review is from: We the People...the Citizen and the Constitution (Paperback)
Want to understand why your Constitution is written as it is? This is the textbook used by high school students in a competition about their understanding and application of the Constitution - somewhat in the format of a Senate hearing.
You'll learn so much interesting information and have a greater appreciation for the Constitution, the Founders and the Framers. We aren't perfect. The goal for freedom is established but requires our diligence to keep it alive and safe. Studying this book is a way to renew your awe at the historical basis for this document, where it's great and where we've maybe gone astray. Chapters are short enough for a quick daily read to get through it. Added bonuses: Founding documents included - Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution and Amendments, etc. Also a glossary of terms. The price is very reasonable, you'll be informed and you may even participate as a timer or judge in a local competition leading to state and then U.S. winners in "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution." NRH :)

As good as any other textbook,

This review is from: We the People...the Citizen and the Constitution (Paperback)
I am a U.S. Government teacher, and I use this book. I've also worked in the U.S. Senate and have written legislation for a State Senate. So on various levels, I can spot bias and propoganda from a fairly vast distance. But if you want to find a textbook about U.S. Government or U.S. History that is free from any bias, you'll spend your remaining years searching in vain. I won't deny the merit of the previous reviews panning this book. But to make such statements without at least mentioning the responsibility of the teacher to point out such biases and ideological flaws and leanings is irresponsible. Does the book do injustice to various sections and layers of our founding and Constitution? Probably. But this presents a wonderful opportunity to show young people how to criticaly analyze textbook information, to question the words of authors and to not simply accept them as the word of God. Is this book left-wing propoganda? I would say that it's not. I think you'd have to be so far to the right that you're completely off the radar screen to believe that. But then, that's where many people in this country would like to see us go. Dangerous! My recommendation? Get the book.

I saw a copy of this paperback book in our lawyer's waiting room--I ordered a copy from Amazon. It arrived in good condition on time.
