Book Description
Do you know what the Constitution ACTUALLY says? This witty and highly relevant annotation of our founding document is the go-to guide to how our government really works (or is supposed to work). Written by political savant and entertainment veteran, Ben Sheehan, and vetted for accuracy by experts in the field of constitutional law, OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? is an entertaining and accessible guide that explains what the Constitution actually lays out. With clear notes and graphics on everything from presidential powers to Supreme Court nominations to hidden loopholes, Sheehan walks us through the entire Constitution from its preamble to its final amendment (with a bonus section on the Declaration of Independence). Besides putting the Constitution in modern-day English so that it can be understood, OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? gives readers all of the info they need to be effective voters and citizens in the November elections and beyond.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of the English Constitution: With a Review of Its Rise, Growth, and Present State The progress of civil government and legislation, and the degree in which freedom was enjoyed by the people, very much depended, especially after the Reformation, on the prevailing ecclesiastical policy of the sovereign or the Parliament; I have therefore treated the Constitu tion as both civil and ecclesiastical, so far as the latter is exhibited in laws having reference to the civil or reli gions liberty of the people.

Book Description
The original U.S. Constitution rests encased in glass inside the National Archives building in Washington D.C. It's time to break the glass, take the Constitution out, and use it. But before we can effectively operate our founding document, we need to understand what it actually says and means. This book is the instruction manual. For far too long, judges, politicians and the chattering political class have "interpreted" the Constitution for you. The result: an ever-expanding federal government that noses its way into every nook and cranny of your life. It wasn't supposed to be this way. It's your Constitution. And it's imperative that you understand how it should be used. This book will help you do just that. It takes you through the most important constitutional clauses and principles, and explains what they mean through the words of those who wrote and ratified the document. As James Madison said, "In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution."
