I have a pocket copy of the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and other amendments. On occasion, I read through it as it helps me to discern the direction the nation is going, who has taken a truthful oath of office and the like.
This book, The Heritage Guide to the Constitution is about a 450 hard cover that is excellent for finding out what the Founders of the country meant by what they said and how far the nation has strayed from it.

A must-read for anyone interested in the US Constitution. Even if you don't adhere to the originalist perspective, it behooves you to understand it, and this is the tool.

A line-by-line examination and critique of the Constitution, this is essential reading; it's impossible to fully participate in American society and politics without knowing one's basic rights.

I took a Constitutional Law course senior year of college. Instead of purchasing the recommended texts, I bought this. I got an A in the class.

This is on my reference shelf directly above my computer as it is the single best resource I've yet found on the Constitution. So few can actually recite the pre-amble correctly. Fewer still could tell you what is covered in the Bill of Rights. From there, try and cherry pick some of the most important Amendments and cases and you lose the majority of the rest. EVERY home should have this book!

This is a great guide to the Constitution...I am amazed at the background of each article and section is so well covered (and from both sides of the argument). This is a book that I will constantly be reading again and again for the rest of my life.
