My only real complaint is that I would have liked the inclusion of the Constitutional Amendments that came after the Bill of Rights was put into effect, but I get why they weren't included because this is a collection of the writings of the Founding Fathers and those later amendments were not part of their purview. I just think they would have made this more functional as a reference book, but that may just be me being persnickety.
