Constitution Owner's Manual: The Real Constitution Politicians Don't Want You to Know About Kindle Edition

The original U.S. Constitution rests encased in glass inside the National Archives building in Washington D.C. It’s time to break the glass, take the Constitution out, and use it. But before we can effectively operate our founding document, we need to understand what it actually says and means. This book is the instruction manual. For far too long, judges, politicians and the chattering political class have “interpreted” the Constitution for you. The result: an ever-expanding federal government that noses its way into every nook and cranny of your life. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. It’s your Constitution. And it’s imperative that you understand how it should be used. This book will help you do just that. It takes you through the most important constitutional clauses and principles, and explains what they mean through the words of those who wrote and ratified the document. As James Madison said, “In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution.”

Michael Maharrey serves as the national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center and the managing editor of the SchiffGold website. He hosts his own podcast, Thoughts from Maharrey Head, as well as the Friday Gold Wrap podcast and the It’s Your Dime interview series for SchiffGold.

Michael earned a degree in Mass Communications and Media Studies from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. As a non-traditional student, he won several academic awards and was a member of the school’s ethics bowl team that placed eighth in the nation. Mike played for the USF ice hockey team at the ripe old age of 40, earning American Collegiate Hockey Association Academic All-American honors. He also holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Kentucky. Along with his formal schooling, he’s had the opportunity to associate with and study under some of the top academics in constitutional history and America’s founding principles.

Michael speaks at events across the United States, and frequently appears as a guest on local, national and international radio shows advancing constitutional fidelity and liberty through decentralization.

As a working journalist, Michael has written and reported for several newspapers, including the St. Petersburg Times, The Woodford Sun, and the Kentucky Gazette, covering local and state politics, and sports.

Michael lives in sunny Yulee, Florida, with his beautiful wife Cynthia, and has two daughters and a son. Although a native Kentuckian, he spent much of his adult life in Florida and considers the Sunshine state his adopted home. In his spare time, he still plays ice hockey and is equally passionate about defending the Constitution and his crease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great orientation to the U.S. Constitution
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020

Reading this book, you soon come to understand why educators, politicians, and even conservative media don't talk about the plain historical meaning of the Constitution. Because once you've gone through that exercise, you realize how so much of our current governmental setup is--not just UNconstitutional, but flat out the OPPOSITE--of what our founders intended.

I discovered this years ago researching the first amendment, and Maharrey helps build on that knowledge. His treatment of the second amendment is particularly good. He shows that its primary purpose was not making sure citizens could hunt and defend themselves against criminals (both of which, when you think about it, would be too obvious to need stating), but rather be capable of defending themselves against, or even overthrowing, a government that usurped undue powers to itself--which again makes perfect sense when you think about the war for independence the authors of the Constitution had just finished waging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your High School never taught you the truth

Constitution: Owner's Manual might be the single best book holding the salient, and readable, explanations about what the Founders did, intended, and meant. MaHarrey has a smooth and easy writing style which makes the complex topic easy to read and understand.

For he who is certain the Constitution is as Spooner described, useless, it is, alas, what we have. Learning how to use what we have to our favor, which is ours from the start, can only help we, the people, wrest from Washington DC usurpers the authority which rightfully belongs to us.

To say this book is awesome is to understate the value this information will have in your understanding of what the state is, does, and intends to do to you.

If 10 stars were an option, I would choose 11.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for every High School Student

Mike has put together a concise, well documented book for anyone who wants to learn about what the Constitution is and is not and how things are supposed to be, at least what our Founders intended. For a lot of folks even Baby Boomers like myself, this book will blow away what you thought you knew about the Constitution. This is must read, after all we should be of the "Less Democrat, Less Republican, more Constitution" frame of mind, this book should make that perfectly clear.

In a society which no longer teaches the Constitution to middle school and high students this book should be required reading in college.

Most people are socialists these days; they think that government has the right to do what ever it wants. This highlights the mission statements behind various aspects of the constitution that politicians dismiss so as to increase the size and reach of government. Great to have in the intellectual bullpen. Get this book.

Despite the far-left hatred of America and all it stands for, this is still the greatest country on the face of the earth because of the brilliance, courage, and faith of the creators of our Constitution.

Outstanding book. Forget everything you've been taught about the constitution, because it's probably misinformed at best. Author Mike Maharrey has done the grunt work of scouring ratification era documentation to bring the true intent of the constitution's framers back to light
