Review:

It's great! I highly recommend "How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence!"

--Sam Sorbo, Actress; Host of The Sam Sorbo Show

"How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" is the best book of the 2016 election season but it has nothing to do with candidates or political parties. It is a handbook every voter should have to understand why the polling booth transcends politics.This is an easy-to-read guide to discover why we call ourselves Constitutionalists and not just Conservatives.

Just from reading it for the first time (it's a book worth perusing regularly), I have a better understanding of the logical reasoning behind the writings of the Founding Fathers and a deeper appreciation for their gifted vision of a United States of America. "How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" is powerful ammunition for Patriots on the front lines in the fight for Liberty.

- Peter Gemma, conservative writer; veteran political activist

As an educator I am concerned that the next generation be able to understand the wisdom in our country's brilliant founding documents.After reading Mr. Skousen's new book, How to Read and Understand the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, I believe a very useful, simple, and innovative way to understand that system is here. Now anyone can take those documents and, following the outline in this text, unravel the plain meaning. How they came about;how they are laid out; unfamiliar terms are clearly explained; short historical context; tests to check for understanding--It's all there. I recommend this small volume for individuals and for school districts.With its simple layout, a teacher could easily use it as part of a unit on our nation's founding.

--Ivan Brown, Chairman Constitution Party of Arizona

"How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" by Paul B. Skousen makes our nation's founding documents easier to read and remember. This book can arm the reader with understanding and patriotic vigilance to protect our nation and allow it to continue to stand as a beacon to the world. I recommend this book to any and all who are patriotic and freedom loving. It is one tool that can help us defend our homes, our families, our beliefs, and our ability to live safely, securely and happily.
