Teach Me About…The United States Constitution The Constitution is a very important document! Not for its historical significance, but because it is the law by which we live in society. As a matter-of-fact, our Constitution is the highest law in the United States, and it applies to all Americans. The Constitution tells us how our three branches of government work. In addition to spelling out the laws of the land, it tells how the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court keeps the country running, although not always smoothly.

It is a thrilling story, the tale of four million people deliberately choosing a form of government for themselves and promising to live in obedience to its laws. It is a story of dreaming of union, but dreading to be bound; of dreaming of separation, but fearing to be free; a story of peering into the future like the seers of old, and of balancing sordid advantages and disadvantages like the most penurious of misers. And what of that noble group of men, unconsciously great, who without a thought of their own gain moved quietly about the task of saving a nation from lawlessness and anarchy? Why is it that histories which are elsewhere interesting become so often dry and dull when the wonder-story is touched upon?It is from such thoughts as these that this book has grown.

Excerpt from The Federalist: A Commentary on the Constitution of the United StatesWithin the borders of New York, and among her members, had originated the greater number of the measures which had led to the War of the Revolution and, inspired by her example, and encouraged by her success, - not unfrequently, also, directed by her popular leaders, - her twelve associates had learned, at an early date, to look to her as to a leader, in the assertion of their own political rights, as well as in the more decided opposition which, from time to time, they had made to the representatives and to the measures of the sovereign.In the protracted struggle for independence which had ensued, her inhabitants had suffered more from the enemy, and during a longer period, than those of any other State; and her territory - which had been held by the Sovereign of Great Britain from an early day, by right of conquest - was the last which had been abandoned by the royal forces,-nor, even then, had it been fully and formally surrendered, in the mode which had been prescribed by the military usage of that day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The two most treasured documents of American freedom together on one audiobook.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…Drafted by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 as an act of rebellion, The Declaration of Independence powerfully expresses the political principles of an emerging nation. As justification for severing ties with England, The Declaration presented a list of grievances against the King and declared the colonies to be sovereign states.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.Ratified in 1788, The Constitution remains a shining example of patriotism and compromise. In outlining the power of the three branches of government and establishing the rights of all Americans, The Constitution united the 13 independent states and set forth the official viewpoint of a newly unified nation. Its most significant and insightful feature is that it can always be amended.
