A useful and concise reference

This is an excellent reference for those who require (frequently, in some cases) a concise reference to the US constitution and its amendments. I have used this book many times as a reference for academic papers and discussions.

Step by step clarification

This book is a wonderful resource for someone interested in learning about the constition. This book walks you through the constitution line by line explaining and giving examples from actual court cases along the way. It's a little bit old, but I think it's definitly worth reading as a first look at the constitution.
