Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021
This is a really good, easy to understand breakdown of constitutional law. Honestly worth having around to skim over and educate yourself. Highly recommend to anyone who is remotely curious about wanting to know about all of the things that get passed around the internet and news all of the time.
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021
Simplified concepts that we all need to read and remind ourselves WHAT and WHO this country is.
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021
My wife used this to help teach a constitutional law class at our homeschool group for high schoolers. She said it was very thorough and way more in depth than she expected. She felt you really needed some kind of experience with law to understand it.

I gave this book a brief review. My daughter is presently in law school and it was a gift for her. It appears to give a good overview of concepts that can be very detailed. Also, Professor Smith was my Con Law professor at Cal Western in 1987.
I like your book, Glenn.

I love this book? Helps you understand why the constitutional amendments took place, but unfortunately it only has 10 of the constitution amendments out of the 33
