About This Book

This book is a public collection of the four original documents in the founding of the United States of America and include, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutions, and the Bill of Rights. Combined these documents are excellent primary historical sources for the American Revolution and the formation of the new republican state. The Constitution of the United States of America is the ultimate law of the country.

The document embodies the doctrine of the separations of the executive powers of the federal government. The Declaration of Independence outlines the grievances of the Thirteen Colonies and explains why they are at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was signed by representatives of all original Thirteen Colonies.

The Articles of Confederation setup the original wartime government of the states. The Bill of Rights records the first ten amendments or additions to the United States Constitution, written after the successful American Revolution, and the creation of the republican government. The Bill of Rights added specific guarantees of political rights and personal freedoms to the original Constitution.

The newly founded American government borrowed heavily from English political traditions of public representation and individual liberty inherited from the Manga Carta and more recently inspired by English enlightenment philosophers like John Locke.

No one should be without this book form of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It will inform "everyone" about the truthful and legality of our laws, not some made up mumbo jumbo that MAGA and the Alt right use to confuse and lie to the people of this great country. And if Donald Von Shitsinpants in put in the White House again, he will do away with the Constitution and initiate the Fascist tyrannical dictator ruling Project 2025. Which will take our Country away from its citizens and the laws protecting us.

The precision that they used to bind this book is mind-boggling. It is a highly durable, water-proof material. Also, the content of the book is legally accurate, according to the U.S. Codes of Law, enacted in 1776, and so-on-and-so-forth. It is a good read. It’s a “page-turner,” which, in my school of thought, is considered the “highest rating” that a book can achieve. I would buy this book for my own children, when I have them. And I would read it to them out-loud. I recommend this book to all Amazon Shoppers and Prime Members. Shipping on this product should be free, because it is such a “hot product.”

This edition is easier to read and more organized than my 1999 pamphlet style copy, so it is easier to find any particular amendment you might want to check. Every school aged child should have one and it certainly hurt their parents either since it isn't taught in schools anymore. I'm trying to find another book on how our government is supposed to run since my copy of that is worn out too.
