OMG WTF does the Constitution actually say? : a non-boring guide to how our democracy is supposed to work / Ben Sheehan, 218 pgs.
This is an ingenious guide to our foundational document. Sheehan gives the actual text, a simple interpretation and some context. He adds a few opinions but all are clearly marked. You can easily tell which parts no longer apply because they too are clearly marked. If you have questions about the constitution and don't have time to become a constitutional scholar, this can get you up to speed a little quicker. Maybe this should be required reading, especially for those who are constantly making statements about what is "in the constitution."
