<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Your Rugged Constitution</i> was first published sixty-four years ago. It quickly became a go-to resource for generations of young Americans (and some older ones too) who wanted to understand the guiding principles of our nation. Now in reissue, this truly rugged and much-admired classic is sure to inform, and also delight readers with its retro 1950s ethos. <i>Your Rugged Constitution</i> proceeds through the text of the Constitution with descriptions that are put in clear, easy-to-understand language, accompanied by commentary and lively drawings so you can easily grasp all the ideas and concepts. Under each section and clause, you (yes, you, fellow American!) learn which powers you give to the federal government, and what you get in return. <i>Your Rugged Constitution</i> helps readers understand that the Constitution is no mere historical document, but an important contract between you and your government.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>. . . a real contribution to the current discussion of national life.--Herbert Hoover "31st President of the United States"<br><br>First published in 1950 and last revised in 1969, if offers a thoroughly irresistible introduction to the United States constitution . . .
