The Know Your Bill of Rights Book: Don't Lose Your Constitutional Rights--Learn Them!

Excellent in Every Way!
Beautifully written, constructed and full of useful information. A textbook that's more than a textbook. Even though I only bought the Kindle edition, I'll be picking up the paperback soon.I'm the daughter of a naturalized citizen from Japan. "This country is a miracle." That's what my late mother thought she thought in 1953 when she first set foot here. I work at the polls in her memory. I bought this book (Kindle) in her memory. I still remember those evenings with a babysitter because Mom was taking her English and Citizenship classes at George Washington High School in San Francisco.Sean Patrick's book took me back to those days when everyone helped her to study. Even me. She treasured her citizenship papers which she received in 1958 at the old Federal Building in San Francisco. All of her studying paid off. Most of her books have been lost so Sean's book (in my IPad and IPhone) will be something I can read and remind myself of what a jewel she was and what GREAT country America is.

A lot of Info, little package
This is an amazing read. It really launched me into more in depth books about our constitution. Great starter book for anyone interested in why our rights were written as they are. I really appreciate the definitions.

Good but Incomplete - No commentary on 3rd, 6th, 7th or 10th Ammendments
The approach of this book is spot on. It is easy to read, brings in a good balance of historical references and contains some reasonable commentary (yes that means opinion). I found it very accessible and is a worthy read for anyone that wants to learn more about the BoR and their historical context.I see several “one star” reviews to this book that seem to imply that the book leans to the right. Several reviews center on what they believe to be a false interpretation of the second amendment and one review even calls it “originalist trash”. From someone who has studied the 2nd Amendment extensively, including a study of hundreds of years of Supreme Court rulings on the matter, I can tell you that Mr. Patrick’s commentary and “opinions” on the matter does in fact hold up against historical scrutiny.For me though, my one complaint is that he doesn’t write something for every amendment! This book contains no commentary for the 3rd, 6th, 7th or 10th which I find somewhat inexcusable. Yes, the 3rd may not be applicable today but the reasons for it further underscores the tyrannical experiences of early Americans and highlights the importantance of individual rights relative to the government. It’s still a worthwhile book to read and recommend but Mr. Stewart finish your homework!
