A Citizen's Guide to the United States Constitution, (Paperback)

<p>"It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force."</p><p>--From "Federalist No. 1"</p><p>"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure those rights, Governments are constituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."</p><p>--From the Declaration of Independence</p><p>"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and to secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."</p><p>--From the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America</p>
