The Constitution of the United States and The Declaration of Independence

In these divided times I find myself referring to our primary American documents regularly. Several times I have printed them out and then lost them in the blizzard of paper in my office. Now when I exclaim to my husband, “That’s unconstitutional!” I can refer to this book to back up my intuition. And when making posters for marches, the Declaration is full of inspiring phrases from Jefferson’s pen that remind us of what Americans have been fighting for these last 250 years. I thank one of my very favorite historians (Sorry, Doris!) for putting out this new format of our American foundational ideas. We need to keep them near us for inspiration and for reassurance. Jon's Introduction was empowering. There have been many points in our history when events of the day challenged our core American values. When we returned to our American bedrock and acted on these key ideals and words, we brought ourselves back to center. Read this book for reminders. Read it for reassurance. Read it to remember that no matter an individual’s point of view, whether he opposes our own, together we are We the People… To form a more perfect union, we must talk out our problems, not scream epithets of blame or hate. It is time to heal our rifts while we still can. This is a book for every personal library, whether in hard copy or digital. But it shouldn’t just be left on the shelf, literal or figurative. It must be read, considered, and discussed. For too long, Americans have run on momentum. We have to go back to our founding American concepts to discover what makes our government so unique. That is the only way we can get it back in working order again, with every branch doing its job. That’s the only way we will be great again…though with these documents at our foundation, our ideals were always great. Now we can put them back into practice as a people and as a government.

Everyone should get this little booklet and take time and read it and understand why we're in the position that we are at this time

My daughter started Civics this year and I got pretty excited after I checked out her syllabus. They are going to be doing impromptu debates in class, which will be a first for her, and I’m an advocate for always being prepared if you’re going to voice a strong opinion. So I bought her her first pocket Constitution! And one for her friend, who is dorky like I am and loved it. I love that it has both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in it, because some do not. It fits right into the folder part of her three ring binder and she can keep it there at all times. I love that she has such a useful primary source right at hand during this class and whenever else she’d like. She can make educated opinions instead of emotional ones. Heck after this, she’ll probably be far more informed on the Constitution than most adults. For the super cheap price, it’s a high quality book that will probably last her through high school and college.

Made/printed in America, as things should be! Go get yourself a dozen of these and make sure that your family and friends always have one on hand! There is nothing wrong with the constitution, it simply needs to be read! Our constitution was built with the power to deal with our current out-of-control government which we have inherited through our ignorance and historical lack of involvement. If we read the constitution, we'd find out things like "Bills of Attainder" are outlawed in the constitution, which is just about every statute out there, which essentially trespasses the Law of the Land, and violates your rights! We just simply need to read it again, comprehend it into our minds, and put it into action. Remember this maxim of law: "To know a thing, and be bound to know it, are regarded in law as equivalent." Which means, when a public servant swears an oath to the constitution, it doesn't matter whether he knows it in fact, has studied it, has memorized it, or not. He is BOUND to know it, and therefore he is required to know it and he cannot escape by saying he didn't know what it said. Also pay attention to the part about the "guarantee of a Republican form of government". We don't have a democracy, we have a Republic. Next time you hear some politician or talking head on TV talking about "our democracy", you know that he's ignorant of what our government actually is. We have democratic principles as part of our Republican form of government, and at no point does this make us a democracy. Our Republic is unique to all others that came before. This is why our Founding Fathers are so impressive. They created the best system of self-governance that has ever been devised. It's up to us whether we're going to protect and maintain this gift that only God himself could have established for our benefit, and the benefit of even our Posterity. It's time we re-read the constitution and used it's enforcement mechanisms against those that usurp and trespass it. It is the Law of the Land, above all other laws. Just as Jesus is the name above all other names. Stand up for your rights. Read the constitution, and share what you've learned with others. One last thing regarding Bills of Attainder. They are everywhere, attainting us unlawfully, and yet we never raise an objection using the passage that is written in the constitution outlawing them. Say you were traveling down the road 5 miles over the speed limit, got pulled over and written a bill/citation/charging you money for it. That is a Bill of Attainder. It's also a false claim, since there is no injured party, and it doesn't perform to the standards of the Criminal nor Civil due process which is established in the constitution.

More important now than ever. Easily fits in pocket, holster, ammo can, large armored vehicle, drone, HMMV or bag. Reading encouraged.

Complete, efficient, handy, small and easy to carry around, Declaration is inviting to read, and Constitution looks good on coffee table.

Laminated cover. Print is small but legible. Good for anyone - but especially if the last time you read it was in Freshman High school government. Hard to form an opinion or speak factually without knowing what is there. Keep reading.

Purchase this for my second grade daughter while we are working on our history of the Constitution and early America. It's a small little book. Easy to stick in your pocket or purse. Good thick cardstock cover thick enough pages. Font is bold and legible. This was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to have quick reference for the Constitution or the declaration of Independence and anyone who's homeschooling. This is a stable

Everything was good until I found out that they have printed the constitution in 2 places in the book, in place of The Declaration of Independence. How could they make such a big mistake? The Declaration of Independence is also one of the most important documents in political history around the world.

... vor allem wenn man bedenkt dass wir Deutschen noch nichts haben. Na ja, das bissl Grungesetz für die Übergangsphase. Jetzt im Ernst. Es ist erstaunlich mit wie wenig Worten die Amis seit über 150 Jahren auskommen. In dieser Zeit haben wir Europäer zwei Weltkriege vom Zaun gebrochen und uns sowie unser Vermögenswerte gegenseitig vernichtet. Und drauf sind wir auch noch stolz, auf unsere "Europäische Kultur" ...

Excellent book 📕 to study whether you are planning to immigrate to the. United States 🇺🇸 Of America. Or are a United States Resident going for their citizenship test

Great little pocket sized book. Instead of hauling the bug books round. Perfect.

An important document for studying, the small size makes it good for transportation
