Constitution 1

Way back in January, when I was planning on things I wanted to do this year, one of them was to learn more about the constitution. By the 4th of July I wanted to have crystallized my thoughts and put them together in a PowerPoint presentation. I'm running a little behind. I have developed a bibliography that I am working my way through. I am about half finished with the list at the end of this blog. However, if you are aware of any very good books on the constitution (that are available without spending over $40 (the cost on Amazon of 'The Constitutionalist' by George Anastaplo.))let me know. Maybe by Thanksgiving I will have it put together.
I have tried to include a wide spectrum of political ideas
