What You Should Know About the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights [Import] [Hardcover]

John Coleman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1999

A book like no other ever written about the U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The information it gives is not found in law books nor is it taught at prestigious law schools. The reason? Very few lawyers ever read the Annals of Congress, the Congressional Globe and Congressional Record, and thus they miss the most crucial evidence supporting the Constitution. Some of the most priceless constitutional gems are found in these pages. Dr. Coleman has done 26 years of research to find them, putting together a highly-readable book which provides insight into the articles and amendments to the Constitution. It shows their true intent and purpose in sharp relief, and what it is that makes this document so great and lasting. Each page contains a wealth of new and often previously untold information, alive with admiration for the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and anger toward politicians who treat this valuable gift with carelessness and gross indifference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conscientious objector to Oklahoma babbler., April 7, 2001

This review is from: What You Should Know About the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights (Hardcover)

I, also, have read this book. I found many useful and worthwhile insights to the actual intent of the founding fathers in their formation of the constitution in this narrative. Many people in America today are trying very hard to forget that our founding fathers were Christians. It is this precept alone which alienates so many of their detractors. The Oklahoma babbler had no actual contention with the esteemed Dr. Coleman. His animosity must have stemmed from a disgust for all that our founders held holy, true, and redemptive. This book alone will not teach you how to spell 'waste', but it may just inspire you to look a little closer at the current laws being passed off as 'comely' in a country with it's roots deeply steeped in the word of God.

1.0 out of 5 stars Subjective View, February 21, 2001

By 

Shane Gibson (Bixby, OK United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What You Should Know About the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights (Hardcover)

The better name for this would have been "The Subjective Biased view of our Democracy-Republic Today." What John Coleman neglected to observe was that the American judicial system and jurispudence in general has changed over the last 220 years. The Constitution was made as a living document, the Founding Fathers knew that would be the only way it would hold the Nation together. Coleman's adherence to "original intent" has led him astray in his subjective views about the Communist-Democratic New World order theory. I found no critical or logical research on the viewpoints and findings that this "Dr." put into his book. I struggled to make it through chapter one and only continued because I felt the book had to be a joke. I found myself being preached to from someone on a "soapbox" rather than actually learning anything important I didn't know about the United States Constitution. If you can make it through all of Dr. John Coleman's biased and allusive comments and subjective opinions then you might like this book. Otherwise, don't waist your time.
