Nice pocket sized version. Great to carry around or have in the car. Always handy when you encounter some of the people who are supposed to uphold the law and have no clue of what the law actually is.

Greatest document, second to the Bible

So light and easy to reference in class during con law. After the final I took a sharpie to the cover and wrote “farts” over United States and over independence. Just because I was so done!! Wish I had it during admin law. Useful and easy to carry when your books are over 10 lbs each

It's the prayers and dreams of America and it fits in your pocket!

You can buy a more expensive copy, that will fit in a pocket. I don't have that kind of money, but I was researching the Constitution so much, because of the criminality of our DC employees, that I thought it would be handy and it is! All our wants, all our needs, all our wishes, and hopes, in a tiny Pocket Edition! God bless the US, and God bless our Constitution!

Everyone should have a copy!

Small and portable, but type is normal and readable. A required resource for every home and should be taught to children as schools do not teach The Constitution of the United States. It is imperative to differentiate between THE CONSTITUTION and constitutional law which are not the same.
