Reader feedback: Just finished reading The Practical Guide to The United States Constitution, I wish I could have read this 40 years ago, better yet in government class in high school, 1966. I retired 6 years ago and finally had the time to get educated in the political process and history of this great country. I had to move my library book down to place this one in the top 3 "BEST". This book needs to be in every high school government class as "required" reading to graduate. It's fantastic, factual, easy to read, well organized and spellbinding. Any time a person can read, have fun and learn something new it's a good deal! Buy this book now! Tom McHale has managed to keep me reading, in short sessions, for the past week until I finished his delightful, lighthearted explanation of the founding documents of our republic. No heavy tome for law school students, 'The Practical Guide to the United States Constitution' is an engaging, fun read... in a civics primer, no less! Well done, Mr. McHale. I enjoyed this guide of the Constitution. It was easy to read, witty, and gave everyday explanations. While interpretation may be one thing... the actual words are quite simple. Tom did a nice job... I highly recommend this book for for first time diving into the Constitution.

The Constitution - a Revolutionary Story by Tom McHale Pdf

Who would think that words carved into a 200-year old tree could cause so much controversy in this day and age? Well, technically, it¿s not even a tree. While early drafts of the Constitution were likely written on hemp paper, the final was considered significant enough to warrant going out and skewering a sheep to make parchment. Ewww.The historically accurate and decidedly entertaining owner¿s manual, The Constitution ¿ A Revolutionary Story covers the how's, what's, and why's of the United States founding documents - but with more than a bit of fun here and there. Unlike the original, it won't put you into a coma or lead to irritable bunion syndrome. The mission is simple: make the Constitution so easy to understand that even a career politician can grasp it.¿197.23 trillion people have never read the actual Constitution,¿observes author Tom McHale. ¿OK, so maybe that figure is moreof an estimate than a carefully researched fact. Regardless,most people arguing about what¿s constitutional know lessabout what it says than they do about the chemicalcomposition of spackle. This book makes it clear.¿

A Practical Guide to Constitution Building by Winluck Wahiu,Markus Böckenförde,Nora Hedling Pdf

"A Practical Guide to Constitution Building provides an essential foundation for understanding constitutions and constitution building. Full of world examples of ground-breaking agreements and innovative provisions adopted during processes of constitutional change, the Guide offers a wide range of examples of how constitutions develop and how their development can establish and entrench democratic values. Beyond comparative examples, the Guide contains in-depth analysis of key components of constitutions and the forces of change that shape them. The Guide analyzes the adoption of the substantive elements of a new constitution by looking at forces for the aggregation or dissemination of governmental power, and forces for greater legalization or politicization of governmental power, and examining how these forces influence the content of the constitution. It urges practitioners to look carefully at the forces at play within their individual contexts in order to better understand constitutional dynamics and play a role in shaping a constitution that will put into place a functioning democratic government and foster lasting peace."--

Constitution Owner's Manual by Michael Maharrey Pdf

The original U.S. Constitution rests encased in glass inside the National Archives building in Washington D.C. It's time to break the glass, take the Constitution out, and use it. But before we can effectively operate our founding document, we need to understand what it actually says and means. This book is the instruction manual. For far too long, judges, politicians and the chattering political class have "interpreted" the Constitution for you. The result: an ever-expanding federal government that noses its way into every nook and cranny of your life. It wasn't supposed to be this way. It's your Constitution. And it's imperative that you understand how it should be used. This book will help you do just that. It takes you through the most important constitutional clauses and principles, and explains what they mean through the words of those who wrote and ratified the document. As James Madison said, "In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution."

The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution by Brion McClanahan Pdf

What Does the Constitution Really Mean? Are liberals right when they cite the “elastic” clauses of the Constitution to justify big government? Or are conservatives right when they cite the Constitution’s explicit limits on federal power? The answer lies in a more basic question: How did the founding generation intend for us to interpret and apply the Constitution? Professor Brion McClanahan, popular author of The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Founding Fathers, finds the answers by going directly to the source—to the Founding Fathers themselves, who debated all the relevant issues in their state constitutional conventions. In The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution, you’ll discover: How the Constitution was designed to protect rather than undermine the rights of States Why Congress, not the executive branch, was meant to be the dominant branch of government—and why the Founders would have argued for impeaching many modern presidents for violating the Constitution Why an expansive central government was the Founders’ biggest fear, and how the Constitution—and the Bill of Rights—was designed to guard against it Why the founding generation would regard most of the current federal budget—including “stimulus packages”—as unconstitutional Why the Founding Fathers would oppose attempts to “reform” the Electoral College Why the Founding Fathers would be horrified at the enormous authority of the Supreme Court, and why the Founders intended Congress, not the Court, to interpret federal law Authoritative, fascinating, and timely, The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution is the definitive layman’s guide to America’s most important—and often willfully misunderstood—historical document.
