Reader Reviews…
No heavy tome for law school students, ‘The Practical Guide to the United States Constitution’ is an engaging, fun read… in a civics primer, no less! Well done, Mr. McHale.
I totally enjoyed reading this book. It is written in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-follow manner. This book is written for those of us who do not use “bigly” words. I can see this book being used as supplemental reading at both the high school and college level. Yeah, it is that informative.
If high schools still taught a civics class this would be an excellent text for the teacher. Does a great job of explaining the lead-up to the Revolution, the mindset of the founders, and the true meanings behind the Articles of the Constitution and the amendments.
I enjoyed this guide of the Constitution. It was easy to read, witty, and it gave everyday explanations. While interpretation may be one thing… the actual words are quite simple. Tom did a nice job… I highly recommend this book for first time diving into the Constitution.
This book spelled out everything about the founding of the United States in the perfect amount of detail while adding humor to keep it interesting. It broke down every article/amendment/section in easy-to-understand paragraphs so that when it came time to read the full text of the declaration or constitution, the comprehension was extremely simple. If you want to learn about why the United States chose to be the way it is, and exactly how thirteen struggling colonies turned into a beacon of freedom for the world, then look no further than this book!
