Product Description
Pocket versions of the Constitution of the United States of America abound, as do multi-volume commentaries, scholarly histories of its writing, and political posturings of various clauses. But what if you want a delightfully quick, witty, and readable reference that, in one compact volume, places the document and its clauses into context? You’re out of luck—until now. Written by Seth Lipsky, described in the Boston Globe as “a legendary figure in contemporary television journalism,” The Citizen’s Constitution draws on the writings of the Founders, case law from our greatest judges, and current events in more than 300 illuminating annotations. Lipsky provides a no-nonsense, entertaining, and learned guide to the fundamental questions surrounding the document that governs how we govern our country. Every American should know the Constitution. Rarely has it glinted so brightly.

Was not pleased with the file. Not what I would call “accordian” as it barely opened 4 1/2″, so was very hard to get hand into each division. I opened one & ripped it in trying to open a division. Sent the additional 2 I ordered back.

This book, CITIZENS CONSTITUTION, is very informative.
We recommend it very highly.
Because of manner of language problems we never did get this book from Amazon.
We got it from WalMart for less money and the manner of language was fantastic.

A excellent informative document. I had not possessed one of these previously but am glad I ordered this one from Amazon.

I was very excited to start this book because I teach my students about the U.S. Constitution by breaking it down and having pairs of students clarify their tiny piece to the rest of the class. I despise to say it but my sixth graders make the Constitution more accessible than this book. References to many cases (many obscure) do small to add to understanding, and the language of the lawsuits are regularly quoted in the same complex wording of the Constitution itself.
I also disliked how the Constitution was broken into pieces where you had to flip back and into the world to retain the continuity of the original document.
I would say this is too simple for a officially authorized scholar and still too complex for the average citizen.

As usual, well written. This gives Grisham a natural tie-in in a few years to a sequel about “Theo” as an adult.
Written as a young person’s tale, Grisham once again spins a tale worthy of any reader, regardless of their age. I wish I had a friend like Theo when I was growing up.
