Candy Carson

I can summarize Dr. Ben Carson's new book, "A More Perfect Union," in two words: PAY ATTENTION! Dr. Carson very simply outlines what the US Constitution says, how it limits the federal government, and how brilliant our founders were. As citizens of the US, we must use our knowledge of the Constitution and then better pay attention as to how it's being ignored or completely shredded by current and recent politicians.

This easy-to-read book also includes the whole text of the Constitution even show more as the bulk of the book breaks down each article and amendment.

Dr. Carson is a brilliant, caring, Godly man. Lord willing, he'll be our next president! show less

Everyone in this country should read this book. Concise, informative, no-nonsense, and inspiring are just a few of the words that come to mind after reading this wonderful book. Carson and his wife break down the Constitution into each part and clearly describe what each means, what the founders motivations were when they constructed this, and how we should be following these ideas to get this country back to what it once was. Carson doesn't call people names, criticize policies, or convey a show more sense of hopelessness while presenting all this information, and after reading this, one can actually see hope on the horizon if the right person, or people, are back in Washington with the intent to do the right thing. Reading this book can provide a person with an emotional boost in trying times, another reason why I think all Americans should be picking this one up and digesting the pages. I truly believe this man would make an outstanding president. show less

I picked this book up because my daughter is taking an American History course and is about to take a test on the formation of the U.S. Constitution. This book has an excellent chapter on precisely what she will be tested on. The rest of the book is an examination of the constitution along with some anecdotes from Ben Carson's life. Everyone should know their constitutional rights. The founding fathers put in place a brilliant document that has stood the test of time. The federalists insured show more we would have a government strong enough to take it's place as a world leader and the anti-federalists left us the legacy of the first ten amendments that protect our personal freedom. The founding fathers were able to achieve the delicate balance between personal rights and the protection afforded us by a strong central government. They set up such an amazing system that you don't have to be born with a title to succeed, we reward ingenuity and inventiveness. So why is it important for Americans to study the constitution? Because there are those in the federal government who are trying usurp your rights via unconstitutional laws like the Patriot Act.. Constitutional rights aren't something most people think about until they have been violated. The founding fathers set up a government that is supposed to operate according to the will of the people not just the wealthy and privileged. In order to make sure that happens it is incumbent on us to know our rights. You don't have to support Ben Carson as a presidential candidate in order to benefit from this book, though personally I think a lot of what he has to say is relevant which is probably why he is leading in the polls. The more I study the constitution the more I am awed at it's brilliance. The presidential candidate whose platform most closely adheres to the constitution will be the one who gets my vote. show less
