Product Description
The Constitution is both the guarantee of our rights and freedoms and the framework that enables all people to contribute to the political and economic activities of the country. American's feel strongly that everyone should be familiar with the Constitution. Through a simple presentation focused on basic principles The People's Guide is written to make it easy to explore this thrilling document and come to one's own understanding. It includes a brief historical context, definitions of essential terms and concepts for the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and Amendments all in one simple spin-free read. What would it be like to live in a country where everyone had read and understood the Constitution? By survey, people believe there would be more respect, it would be easier to get along and make things better--and they would like to read the Constitution, if it was more accessible. The People's Guide to the United States Constitution answers that need.

The People's Guide to the US Constitution July 21, 2008
Christopher D. Palmer (Sandwich, MA USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have recently wanted to understand our government better. I think this is particularly important since our rights as Americans are not well understood and thus in danger of being lost at this point in our country's history. This book made the subject extremely clear. The intents and background of our forefathers were communicated in such a way that the document came alive for me. Thank you Mr. Kluge for this important book. I recommend it for all students of our government, young and old!
A top pick for community library collections dealing with politics and easy to use guides. May 7, 2008

The Constitution - perhaps America's most important document. But what does it actually all mean to the modern, every day America? "The People's Guide to the United States Constitution" is a through and comprehensive guide put in the common terms that everyone can understand, free of the spin artists that readers so often see on political news programs. Presenting the original text of the document and then giving a complete run down to what it really means, it's a must for anyone who wishes to truly understand the United States Constitution. "The People's Guide to the United States Constitution" is a top pick for community library collections dealing with politics and easy to use guides.

Dave Kluge has written an important book here. If we all can really understand our Constitution we can maintain our freedoms. If we don't we can't. With this book Mr. Kluge has given us the opportunity to really understand the basis of our government. Get this book for yourself and get it for your kids.
