This edition offers:

- A clean, user-friendly format that is easy to take to class, meetings, protests, and more
“Raphael’s annotations are written with such clarity. Indeed, the kind of clarity we need at this critical moment in our nation’s history.”—Carol Anderson, Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Presidents come and go, but the Constitution remains the supreme law of the land. It is the bedrock document from which we derive our policies on immigration, protests, gun ownership, voting rights, taxation, policing, and war. It dictates the structure of our government and sets forth our rights as citizens.
Yet even well-informed readers can stumble over the Constitution’s archaic language and historical context. In this indispensable edition, Raphael offers a thoughtful, lively, and highly readable interpretation illuminating the intentions of the framers, the document’s evolution over centuries, and what it means for Americans today.
Here is where concerned citizens can find answers and a reliable political fact-checking resource for navigating the issues in the news.
