Description
I have two basic goals in writing this book. I want to convince you of two things: 1. It is possible for you to understand the Constitution for yourself; You don¿t need ¿experts¿ to tell you what it says. 2. It is vitally important that you do so, because the document cannot serve its purpose if you don¿t. If I can succeed in those two goals, then more important long-term goals will naturally follow. If you understand its importance and believe you can understand it, you will read it. If large numbers of Americans read the document for themselves, they will not only know if their government exceeds its limits, they will ¿know that they know.¿ This is not possible without a more universal understanding of the document, and it will naturally flow from a more universal American understanding of it.
