[Carol Ghattas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book so informative, that I took lots of notes since it had been a long time since I'd studied the Constitution in school. Meese reminded us of the reason for the Constitution, including to help us form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to insure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty.

Being reminded of the purpose and details of our Constitution makes this book a must-read for all Americans.
