Tread w/caution??? Have you lost your mind along with Smokey. The constitution is the bldg block, the foundation of this still GREAT country which allows us all the freedoms we have...including you. Obviously you DO NOT understand how this great republic was formed. Sad, very sad. I recon this version to any and all willing to learn.

Reviewer sounds like the type of person who would vote against a presidential candidate just because of religion. Reviewer points out religion of folks who compiled this version, but gives no SPECIFICS as to what the shortcomings are!

There is only one reason why ANY religious organization would publish ANYTHING on the secular subject known as "government" and that is to advocate for a biased, religious-themed perspective on government.

PUBLISHED ... and because "This is published by The National Center for Constitutional Studies, a conservative, religious-themed constitutionalist organization, founded by Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) political writer W. Cleon Skousen, a former professor at Brigham Young University" you are insinuating that these are NOT the words of our Constitution? Geesh!
This is NOT interpretation ... these are the words of our Constitution ... as explained in the description..... "The National Center for Constitutional Studies has printed a special edition copy of The Constitution of the United States that has been proofed word for word against the original Constitution housed in the Archives in Washington, D.C. It is identical in spelling, capitalization and punctuation." "Tread with Caution" you wrote. Really? What worries you so about our Constitution?

Wow ... I guess you never did learn America's history. You certainly do not understand it. You may not like it, but our founding WAS based on certain principles and our Constitution was written to protect those principles.
Do NOT assume that these words are false because you do not like that this 'organization' produced a copy ... a copy of those words. ... NOT opinion or interpretation. You would know that had you checked these words for yourself rather than leaving 'warnings' on Amazon.

The US Constitution was ratified in 1788. The Mormon religion was not invented until the 1820s. So, regardless of the "certain principles" you mention but do not identify, we can be sure that the Mormon religion had NOTHING to do with the writing or ratification of the US Constitution.
And the issue, of course, is why does a religious organization see a need to distribute publications about the US Constitution? Shouldn't they be devoting their time to their religion, such as it is?

What concerns me is religious organizations meddling in law and politics instead of devoting their time and resources to their religion.

You just don't get it do you. Your own words prove the Mormon religion has nothing to do with the constitution based on the year they were invented. So they ponied up the money to help people buy this, who cares? I think someone needs to sit you down and explain it slowly to you cause you just don't get it. Good luck with everything else in life as apparently the easy things are missed by you.
