A good format of the US Constitution. I like the hardcover, the size, and the text. Unlike some copies, it contains the whole list of amendments. My problem with this copy, is that it has no method of denoting where amendments have actually changed or eliminated portions of the Constitution, or previous amendments. While this may be the "clean" version of the text, it is also impractical as it contains no note to indicated that things such as the 3/5 rule are no longer part of the Constitution. That change in format would be the only change that I would make to this edition though. It is the best edition I have found so far besides that editing absence.
readings Good
large type makes MAKES THIS; A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION WITH AMENDMENT VER EASY TO READ
With today's political environment, I needed to reaquaint myself with the Constitution. Now I can follow along with trials, appeals, and claims.
Just read it.
Smaller than expected size wise - needed glasses to read it
Anyone with aging eyes will appreciate the large print. I have two other copies of the Constitution but must use magnifying glass to read.
We all need to read or reread the Constitution during these troubled times. Our democracy depends on upholding the Constitution. This is a great addition and easy to read. It's a quality book.
