If I were a judge I'd say that Constitution was void for vagueness. But people seem to like it for some reason. All in all, a better plan of government than, say, North Korea. But once the lawyers and the rent-seekers get involved, its just a big old mess. If businesses wrote contracts like this, they'd all go broke.
Quoting from the book's dust jacket, "Included in this volume are the complete texts of the Constitution of the United States of America and it amendments; the Declaration of Independence; and the Articles of Confederation. The book also includes an insightful introduction by R. B Bernstein, a chronology of important dates and an index to the Constitution.
An inspiring vision that has remained surprisingly durable.
Easily two of the most important documents ever written in the history of democratic society, with a third one thrown in for good measure.
Essential reading for becoming an informed U.S. citizen.
Does it get any better than this?
