| I enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed finding out the "unspoken" information about past Presidents fascinating. I believe that every American should read the Declaration of Independence and not only know the Presidents who signed it but because it is the rights in which our country is founded on. You can't defend rights you don't know you have. This book is a "MUST" for your freedom and entertainment as well. |

| Every one of the 50 people at my son's wedding reheasal will be receiving one from me. Like a "Bible zealot", I am becoming a "US Constitution zealot." The book is small & easy to read, a good learning handbook for everyone. FREEDOM THROUGH KNOWLEDGE. |

I think that some zealot right-wingers got a hold of this because I can't find the part about separation of church and state anywhere. Oh, that's right that did not exist until the Everson v. Board of Education decision in 1947. This was a 5-4 decision by a court packed with Roosevelt's socialist justices and they barely bought into this.
While people moan and groan about the 7-2 (yes that is right 7-2) decision denying Al Gore's attempt to thwart the Constitution, they embrace the Everson ruling as if it were etched in stone. If you look at the case more thoroughly it was not even really a separation of state from church issue but rather the other way around. The parent's simply were using their tax dollars to transport their children to the school of their choosing. I guess they didn't want the problem that our state educated children have with math, science, reading, writing, geography, history, unbiased free thinking, etc.
The rest of this book is great. It lays out the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation. It gives brief histories as well interesting facts on each. It also has a small section on the Supreme Court and some landmark cases. Note, Everson is not amongst the ones listed.
Read it in good health. This is the rulebook that our country was founded on. If you don't like the rules you don't need a majority to vote for a change you just need 5 people in black to push their agendas. To our 4 justices out there that apparently haven't read this please get a copy and stop F'ing up our country.
