Editorial Reviews
Review
--Sam Sorbo, Actress; Host of The Sam Sorbo Show
"How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" is the best book of the 2016 election season but it has nothing to do with candidates or political parties. It is a handbook every voter should have to understand why the polling booth transcends politics.This is an easy-to-read guide to discover why we call ourselves Constitutionalists and not just Conservatives.
Just from reading it for the first time (it's a book worth perusing regularly), I have a better understanding of the logical reasoning behind the writings of the Founding Fathers and a deeper appreciation for their gifted vision of a United States of America. "How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" is powerful ammunition for Patriots on the front lines in the fight for Liberty.
- Peter Gemma, conservative writer; veteran political activist
As an educator I am concerned that the next generation be able to understand the wisdom in our country's brilliant founding documents.After reading Mr. Skousen's new book, How to Read and Understand the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, I believe a very useful, simple, and innovative way to understand that system is here. Now anyone can take those documents and, following the outline in this text, unravel the plain meaning. How they came about;how they are laid out; unfamiliar terms are clearly explained; short historical context; tests to check for understanding--It's all there. I recommend this small volume for individuals and for school districts.With its simple layout, a teacher could easily use it as part of a unit on our nation's founding.
--Ivan Brown, Chairman Constitution Party of Arizona
"How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" by Paul B. Skousen makes our nation's founding documents easier to read and remember. This book can arm the reader with understanding and patriotic vigilance to protect our nation and allow it to continue to stand as a beacon to the world. I recommend this book to any and all who are patriotic and freedom loving. It is one tool that can help us defend our homes, our families, our beliefs, and our ability to live safely, securely and happily.

I suggest that it has a bias in that it mentions a “3rd Version of the Constitution” which is not a new document but the author’s statement about the current controversy concerning how the Constitution has been applied in certain decisions over the last 100 years and is therefore “not working”. It also adds a quiz to the 10th amendment asking the reader how they think the amendment should be applied. This appears to be the only amendment that has this type of opinion quiz.
The reminder of the book treats the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in a relatively straightforward manner. I can only wonder why the author decided to include this particular controversial issue in a introductory book specifically designed for “new immigrants, students just learning and people who don’t have time to learn much beyond reading the documents”. An audience who, due to their recent introduction to the documents, is likely not yet prepared to deal with this controversy.
If it was important to add this "advanced study" topic to a book designed to be an introduction to the documents then the best treatment of the controversy would be to at least introduce both sides of the issue. Since only one side of the issue was presented it does seem to show a specific bias in the controversy of how to read the Constitution in this specific situation. It does not even mention there is controversy concerning this issue.
This book also does not provide any citations to guide the reader for further study which I think is a shortcoming.
I suggest this book should be used as only one text on how to read [and understand] the US Constitution. It has some good, easy to read content for the intended audience. I think it shows a specific bias in the area mentioned above and may add a level of confusion to readers new to the Constitution. Which is why only 2 stars.
