Books with title We the People: The Constitution of the United States

Open the pages of this book to get an inside look at the United States Constitution. Find out about the Constitutional Convention and who attended, what issues were most debated among delegates to the Convention, and the importance of the U.S. Constitution in American history. In this book you will also discover: what events brought about a need for the U.S. Constitution; who was involved in writing the U.S. Constitution; and how amendments to the U.S. Constitution are added and what they are.

Though the shortest single-document constitution in the world, the US Constitution has bound our nation together since 1789. The Constitution and the term "constitutional" are bandied about in the media a lot, but many people don't even know what's in the document. Readers of this book will discover its content, article by article, as well as look at the Bills of Rights and other amendments. Fun facts enliven the text, and sidebars delve into lesser-known constitutional issues.

Imitated many times. It is often referred to, discussed and used to settle disputes but its 18th century English often frustrates and confuses people to the point that many don't actually read it. It is the Constitution of the United States of America. I have tried to simplify it, explain it so people can read it. Hopefully gain a better understanding of this important founding document. It not only deserves to read in these times. It needs to be read at all times.
