The USA Constitution and Other Writings
This book is a compilation of texts and speeches that are historically important to the people of the United States. It stands just over 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 1 inch thick, has a leather cover, a bookmark ribbon, and the pages are painted with gold foil at the edges.
Although one could find any of the texts within published on the internet, sometimes I just want to read something in bed without the hum of a computer fan nearby. The articles in this book are reprinted in chronological order according to the date they were originally published. It starts with The Mayflower Compact which was written in 1620 and ends with Hillary Clinton’s Acceptance of the Presidential Nomination in 2016. Despite this, the book is presented in a neutral way and the editors push neither “originalist” or “non-originalist” ideology on the reader.
