Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The most complete book written on the substance and meaning of the U.S. Constitution. The first couple hundred pages or so focus on the history leading up to to the Constitution (including Biblical history relevant to the Constitution). The rest of the book focuses on the Constitution itself. Skousen (he was actually aided by a whole team of researchers and scholars to get all the material and documentation for the book) then takes the text of the Constitution and analyzes it phrase by phrase, using actual quotes made by Founding Fathers, which describe the phrase in question or the concept that the phrase deals with. Every single phrase in the Consitiution is covered. Most phrases are covered by several Founding Fathers. I've had a copy of this book for about 10 years now and I never get bored with it. I consider it to be one of the most important books ever written. To understand what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution, this book is indispensible.
