This USED to be necessary reading for school students! I dare say that nary even a few have ever read this extraordinary document that has been our country's laws of the land and made this country the one everyone wants to come to for FREEDOM & LIBERTY along with the Declaration of Independence & the reason the Revolutionary War was fought to get out from under the thumb of at the time the oppressive rule of English monarchy. Oh & that was NOT IN 1619, this was ENGLISH settlers and land owners, not USA! That was over 100 years later! There was no USA in 1619.

I never meant to order a Spanish edition

I can only read English

US Constitution

I keep this little book in my purse and pull it out whenever I have a minute. We ALL need to know more about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence so we can recognize when someone wants or tries to take away our rights. It has lots of interesting facts about the Founding Fathers, too. I would recommend this book for any red-blooded American.

A great reference

Too few Americans understand what their constitutional rights are and have no fear of these precious liberties being eroded. This little book goes a long way in teaching the basics of this founding document. It should be given to every student in the USA.

Every school should have one

Makes the Constitution easy to understand. Wish I would have had it in high school. The framers would be impressed.

This book is for those who seek to make their own interpretations

I just recently purchased this book for the soul fact that it is a very nice copy of the US Constitution and it does not contain any interpretations or author comments. I think what other reviewers have said are both good and bad. Every American should read the Constitution with a open mind, free of the the interpretations of others, So that the reader can form his or her own opinion. However I suggest the reader take the time to read the Declaration of Independence, which can reflect the motives behind the document. Just a historic note, the Constitution, while overseen by some of the founding fathers, Ben Frankin, was written at the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams where both overseas and the people who did sign the constitution where called the Framers (not the "farmers", though it is of political interest, given that the agricultural industry was thriving, that only one framer was a farmer). So I hope that if you purchase this book you take the time to read the text of one of our nations literary treasures and form your own opinions. In this reviewers opinion, I would recommend the reader pay attention to the system of checks and balances. Enjoy and I hope this helped you.

Wonderful book

With all due respect to some of the other reviewers, this book doesn't claim to give "insight" into the Constitution. Rather, it's the Constitution itself, bundled into a nice little hard-cover book. For what it does (and what it claims to do), this book deserves 5 stars - after all, the writing is excellent and I agree with everything in it. :) I keep one on my desk at work. The Constitution is so important that I want to make it available to everyone. It's small in size, so it doesn't take up unnecessary room. This little book should be required reading in our nation's gradeschools.
