Product Description
History comes alive-in this illustrated guide to the Constitution and all 27 Amendments.

¥ Which state refused to send a delegation to the Constitutional Convention?
¥ Why was the Convention held in secret, with sentries at the door?

The U.S. Constitution for Everyone relates how the "traitorous" Founding Fathers wrote the nation's supreme laws and how the thirteen Disunited States became a more perfect Union. A must for students of American history and for everyone who'd like to know more about the supreme laws of our nation.

Inside This Book (learn more)

First Sentence:
In the course of human events, in the 1780s, "We the People" of the nascent United States of America-white, male, principally Protestant, and mostly motivated (some say) by pocketbook patriotism-came to feel keenly that the instrument of government framed by the "traitorous" Founding Fathers during the stress of the eight-year Revolutionary War against the English wasn't working.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and entertaining, July 20, 2000

By	Steve Herr (Jackson, MI USA) - See all my reviews

I am no constitutional scholar, but I have made a point of knowing what the Constitution says, and what its framers had to say in the Federalist papers. My attempts to get others to read the Constitution have met limited success, and I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to make it as painless as possible for them. THIS BOOK WILL DO IT. The text of the Constitution on the left page, and Gerberg's running commentary with explanations, cross references to other sections, and background anecdotes on the right make this a readable addition to anyone's library. We have several copies of the Constitution in different formats in our library. This edition will have a permanent spot on our shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, February 14, 2001

By	David E. Levine (Peekskill , NY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

As a lawyer, I studied constitutional law in law school. Nonetheless, I find this pocket copy of the US Constitution to be extremely valuable. Notes and annotations on the facing pages make the constitution easy to navigate for even the novice. Everyone should read the Constitution from beginning to end and with the commentaries in this short book, our fundamental law is understandable to all readers. I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars You'd be better off reading the constitution online, January 3, 2002

By	R. Hammer "rhammer" (FL, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a real constitution buff and wanted to get a book that was a great reference for the constitution. The book was obviously not it. Basically I paid for a scaled-down version of the Constitution with very very basic interpretations of the amendments and articles. The fourth amendment is explained in three lines. There is no thought put into this book, hince it's only ~60 pages, with about 10-15 pages used for credits and table of contents. If you're looking for a copy of the constitution and only need the basic version, get online and print it off any site. Don't waste your money getting this book.
