Every American should own this Perfect little reprint of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Pocket/purse/briefcase size. Great price. Have this in your home, every American should.
A Must Have A good pocket sized reference for anyone who swears to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States
There's a reason this book has a complete rating of five stars... How can I review the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? I can't, it's been done already, probably thousands of times. They're remarkable and in my opinion, a must have for EVERY American in every walk of life.

DOI Constitution, No More No Less This little book which is compact enough to be carried in your back pants pocket has a terrific intro by the Cato Institute. Beyond that, it is just what it says it is - no more no less. For $5, an excellent value. Every American should read this carry it with them, the most patriotic among us, do. It may come as quite a surprise to many who do read it (sadly, most who pick up this book probably already have, those who need to, won't) that there is nothing in it allowing the federal government to provide health care, welfare, social security or education, to wire tap, to arbitrarily take away our civil liberties (before, during, or after a "national emergency") or protect "family values." All are unconstitutional. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself buy the book.
Essential to Have Around At about 2/3 the height of a mass-market paperback book and a trim 58 pages, the only real disadvantage to this collection of America's most important documents is that, if you shelve it on your bookshelf, it may get lost. It is a tiny book, meaning that it's not bogged down by a ponderous introduction or tedious analyses. It contains just the Declaration and the Constitution themselves, as well as a concise and informative introduction. It's really the book to buy if you just want to have the Founding Fathers' documents plain and simple. And read it every few years, just to get a sense of what principles America was built on. These documents should always be the basis of any intelligent discussion about American politics.
