Summary: A Great Copy of a Great Set of Documents!
Comment: This is by far the nicest copy of probably the two most important documents of the United States. This nice little compact booklet can go with you everywhere, so whenever you hear some snide, pretentious, know-it-all misquoting one of the listed documents, you can bust this out and prove him/her wrong.
Other Great Things About It:
Though not mentioned in the title, this booklet also contains all twenty-seven Amendments.
Another great thing about this booklet is after you own it, there's a phone number in the back where you can order more copies for only $1!
Now you probably noticed I've only really rated the mundane aspects of this book. I honestly don't feel I have to try and sell the actual text contained within; if you're on reading this, you are probably shopping around for a good edition/copy of the documents, not deciding whether or not you actually going to buy the them. All I can say is that this is the best copy, so why waste your time with any other?
PS this one has a very nice traditional feel, as well, with the 'leather like' cover and the creamy pages... simply beautiful!

Summary: A must have for every home.
Comment: No home in America is complete with out a copy of these documents. Do your children a favor; turn off the TV and the Cable News editorial talking heads, put away the Bible and read the Constitiution. While it is the most misrepresented document in history; it is the true foundation of our society.

Summary: Take a Few Hours and Read This
Comment: This is the American vision of what government should be. Many people think that America is a democracy but it is actually a constitutional democracy. The Constitution of the United States sets limits to the powers of government in Article 1, Section 8 (pgs 23-5). Outside of these enumerated powers the government has no authority to do anything else.
It really is a beautiful system of government. All law-making powers are vested in the Senate and House of Representatives. However, a president can check their power by vetoing any laws they pass, which they can then override by a 2/3 majority in both houses. The president's function is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" and to the the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. The Supreme Court and other courts oversee the laws passed by the legislature and, I suppose, the actions of the president to make sure that they fall within the bounds set by the Constitution. Congress has the ability to add to the Constitution by passing amendments. And the Bill of Rights lays out a few rights of the people and states that are absolutely not to be infringed upon, though the enumerated powers already limits the power granted to the federal government.
Roger Pilon's brief Preface is about as much bang for the word as one could ask for. Check it out!
