Although the constitution was created in 1787, its historical importance and value continue to significantly impact lives every day. Understanding the Constitution brings readers to an understanding and appreciation of the United States constitution, its significance in the daily lives of individuals, and the hotly-debated topics that are relevant today. Assuming no previous knowledge about law, this is an ideal reader-friendly introduction to constitutional law.

- Provides pedagogical learning tools including “Questions for Review” and “Constitutionally Speaking” court cases to reinforce topics covered.
