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. Hearing them as they were written is a must for every American. Regular listening 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 listen to and appreciate these great documents.

This handy guide can become your best friend, and you'll want to keep a copy nearby. Here is your chance to become an expert on two of the most important documents that shaped our country!

Must Read

A beautiful and profound document that is the keystone of America's greatness. Must be read and studied by all Americans so we understand what's at stake and which values are to be preserved.

Loved the quote from the introduction: ..."Home of the free, because of the brave"...

A remarkable document

I believe this document needs to be studied in all facets of academia. The American people need to learn more about where their privileges came from.

Simplicity at its core and fundamental for the lay person.

Loved the presentation and it’s pacing. Probably best to follow along with a written copy for highlighting. Easy to understand and just enough backstory to not detract from the overall performance! Will be revisiting this multiple times!

For Everyone

Every U.S. Citizen should read/listen to The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence...it can amaze you what you thought you knew vs what really is.

really good

something every one should have to study for themselves then they would not have to lean on someone else

Masterful

The document without peer in the annals of history. An absolute must read of a document.

The Greatest Country Ever Founded

its hard in these modern times to appreciate that America is the greatest country ever founded, even in light of crooked politicians and rigged elections, but the ideals and values expressed in these founding documents are the closest to perfect of any founding documents ever written at any point in history. don't give up on traditional American values. They're worth fighting for. the right to free speech, and to bear arms are rights granted by God, not government, and government can't take them away, only infringe on them. know your rights, and the rights of the government. the constitution is the supreme law of the land, it says so. so remember that when crooked politicians try to take your guns for your own safety, and punish your free speech for your own protection. if there's none among us responsible enough to govern themselves, who among us is responsible enough to govern all of us.
