The United States Constitution. Everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Most think that the Constitution is the source of our rights. Many believe that it's racist, sexist, and out of touch. Are they all right? Do they know what the document really says? Do you? Find out for yourself with this concise and stimulating guide to the America's founding document. This book breaks the Constitution down phrase-by-phrase and explains its effect in everyday terminology. It challenges common misconceptions. And it does so in a neutral tone. A More Perfect Union reveals just how basic, simple, and brilliant-not perfect-the Constitution is. It was never meant to be perfect. But this book shows that the Constitution gives us, the people, the tools to improve the unfinished document and build a more perfect union.
