Much better than I anticipated.

I love this audiobook. I've never had much of an interest in government, but I believe I'll listen to this over and over. Interesting and well done.

Well done!

Historically robust! As well as current. Thoroughly satisfying. Easy to Listen to and worth listening to again. Very well done.

Excellent book on the history and execution of the United States Constitution

It is always a pleasure for one to know where they came from that they might recognize what needs to be changed to accomplish one nation under GoOD...Knowledge is power!

Love it!

Learned so much and never got bored. I'm sure I'll listen to this one several times.

Understanding Is Paramount

I appreciate the way in which you explain the ‘Constitution.’ Anyone can read a text book; but applying that text to actual events, priceless. Get ready to write another version for the 2024 election. I think even you might be surprised. Hang in there please. :-)

One of the most important books I have listened to

I did not know the book about constitution is also riveting intellectual thriller!

And this book is read by the author who did great in maintaining the balance of excitement and gravity of the matter.

Very informative

This was the right book for me! I had a slight knowledge of the Constitution but the writer gave good insight into how the amendments came to be and case examples for how they have been tested over the years, which gave me a clearer understanding of our founding document. I found this book very interesting!

One of the best!

From the beginning I noticed that the narrator seem to know very well what he was reading until I realized that it was the author himself the narrator! He seems to be more talking to you than reading it. Relaxing, scholar voice in a book with treasuries everywhere to be found, not only about the constitution but also about American history, American law history and politics. Dr. Arnheim is surely well-versed with the American constitution and law in general. Great book! Great author!!!

Great but wow, bad timing

This seems to have been written and read at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019. Wow, have things changed since then. I look forward to the update, it will be quite a bit.

Continue lear

Well researched and laid out in a manner that is easy to follow even when listening at 1.5X speed. I will most likely look for more books from this author.
