 Copyright page is arrogant! October 31, 2008

This Constitution is published by Wilder Publications. The copyright page says this:
"This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."
I don't know what to make of that. If it says what I think it says I think I want a Constitution from another publisher! That statement seems to say that the Publisher is telling us how to read it! They are saying that it's principles couldn't possibly mean the same thing today! What arrogance! I hope they don't mean these things but how can I not come to these conclusions?

I bought this print of the U.S. Constitution at first because my pocket Constitution had almost fallen apart.
When I got it in the mail I thought it was very pretty, but I was a little surprised at how large the print was. The print IS very large - so I guess it would be helpful for those who have bad vision, it isn't a BAD characteristic of the layout of the book, I was just surprised.
It is also very helpful because it holds The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence and The Articles of Confederation.
I am very pleased with it!
And I thought it was very humorous when amazon emailed me asking if I would give a review of the U.S. Constitution. HAHA!

Read it, know it, live it. If things keep going they they have with people not caring about the Constitution, we won't have. You know the adage, ignore it and it will go away, it's very true for the constitution. The 2008 RNC is a standout example of this where the police were not only suppressing the free speech of the demonstrators but also beating and arresting registered members of the press with press credentials clearly displayed. This was not just here and there accidents or misunderstandings. This was an organized act of suppressing the media. They threatened them with drawn weapons and beat them. The only way to stop the rise of fascism is to step up and protect your rights and the rights of your neighbors. Make know mistake, fascism is here. It's not just starting, it is well entrenched. Are you going to stand by, like the citizens of Nazi Germany, and do nothing. How long until dissidents start disappearing? We already have prison camps. Don't think your citizenship will protect you from being sent off somewhere. Just as soon as the government thinks you're apathetic enough, they will declare martial law and you will be required to have travel papers to go from city to city. This is deadly serious stuff. It makes me cringe whenever our government criticizes another government for suppressing their citizens rights. I didn't used to feel that way. I used to be proud of our government now our government is an embarrassment. If you think Obama's going to fix it, think again. The guys already sold out, just examine his recent voting record.

I think every American citizen should read this. Our government has drifted so far from what the Constitution originally intended, and most people haven't got a clue about it. This is a very handy booklet to have around! Get it, read it, and form YOUR OWN beliefs about government and stop listening to everyone else trying to give you their version!

i just got this so i'll just tell you what i noticed so far.
1) the pages aren't all numbered. so you can find something in the index and not find the page. not sure what the rational is for this but it's not helpful. a few pages numbered, then nothing, then a few more numbered, again nothing and so on.
2) on page 23 (i assume) the following sentence appears:
"The first ten Amendments collectively are commonly known as the Bill of Rights. History"
i find this confusing. the word "History" is not part of a sentense, has no punctuation, and it is followed by nothing. the rest of the page is blank. this looks to me like an obvious misprint.
so i'm not exactly confident in the book. and yes it is more like a pamphlet.
