Our American Constitution
By Rob Natelson

The third edition includes research updates on the original meaning of such issues as:

* The First Amendment (find out whether the famous Citizens United case was rightly decided) . . .

As always, this book is written for the non-specialist. It is designed to give American citizens an accurate view of what the Constitution really means.

The Law of Nature
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..."
Have you ever wondered what "the laws of nature" are? Were they cute words with no real meaning? Could these words have meant something important, something we were never taught?
“A great revolution has taken place at Paris. The people of that country having never been in the habit of self-government, are not yet in the habit of acknowledging that fundamental law of nature by which alone self-government can be exercised by a society. Of the sacredness of this law, our countrymen are impressed from their cradle, so that with them it is almost innate. This single circumstance may possibly decide the fate of the two nations.”
~ Thomas Jefferson Jan 29th, 1800

(1820) The Republican Part I & II Part III - Wiliam Jarvis
“I thank you, Sir, for the copy of your Republican which you have been so kind as to send me… looking over it cursorily I see much in it to approve, and shall be glad if it shall lead our youth to the practice of thinking on such subjects and for themselves…”
~ Thomas Jefferson, September 28, 1820
“To the school-boy, also, who may take pains to turn over these leaves, I can sincerely, express a wish, that he may read this book, as he ought to read all others; not with a view of adopting or rejecting, entirely, the sentiments and opinions it contains; but with a view of examining how far they may be usefully applied, in the discharge of his future duties, as a man and a citizen.” the author, William Jarvis.
