Blueprints for Liberty: A Socio-Historical Approach for Youth Reading the Constitution

By Dr. Joshua Pearson

This book takes young readers on a journey to meet and ultimately better understand the U.S. Constitution through the introduction of key elements of Western Civilization that founded the concepts ultimately used to create the US Constitution. For example, the Second Amendment was not the innovation of the Founding Fathers but rather finds its roots in Aristotle's discussions on what a constitutional government would look like; this book is filled with many such examples. The majority of the content reviews key thinkers and documents of Western Civilization; collecting as it were the building blocks that together create the uniquely American system of government. Then readers analyze the structure and contents of the U.S. Constitution, applying the "W3" reflective framework of What, So What, Now What? to understand its meaning and application to our lives today. Think of it as a guide to understanding the timeless values, culture, and motivations that not only built the US Constitution but still resonate today in our culture and society.
