Though the shortest single-document constitution in the world, the US Constitution has bound our nation together since 1789. The Constitution and the term "constitutional" are bandied about in the media a lot, but many people don't even know what's in the document. Readers of this book will discover its content, article by article, as well as look at the Bills of Rights and other amendments. Fun facts enliven the text, and sidebars delve into lesser-known constitutional issues.
