"How often have people claimed that a certain thing was ""in the Constitution"" and you've wanted to pull out a copy to show them what this incredible document really says?

This is the book you want to keep with you at all times: the full text of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the two documents that are the backbone of United States government. Reading them as they were written is a must for every American. Regular reading is required for any historian or member of the legal profession, and a good idea for all Americans.

Acclaimed Constitutional scholar Paul Skousen, author of How to Read the Constitution, frames this simple text with a brief preface and a summary of important facts about these two documents, including important dates, for the ultimate quick reference. Throughout the text of the Constitution, he provides a clear guide to parts that became invalid due to later amendments, making the current meaning clear. Without intruding on the meaning, Skousen gives you a great tool for understanding our most basic principles of good government. An inspiring introduction by New York Times best-selling author Dan Clark will put you in the right frame of mind to read and appreciate these great documents.

This handy guide can become your best friend, and you'll want to keep a copy nearby. Fortunately, this little book will easily fit into your pocket or briefcase, top desk drawer, or iPad case. You may find you'll want to have extra copies around to hand out, too. Here is your chance to become an expert on two of the most important documents that shaped our country."

The Constitution is the guide which I will never abandon. --George Washington Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government. --James Madison The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself. -- Attributed to Benjamin Franklin And that the said Constitution be never construed ... to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. --Samuel Adams The people are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it. --Abraham Lincoln
