Good God - Independance ???
Page 53, in large, all caps, bold type, the title page for the "Declaration of Independence", SOHO Books demonstrated they cannot spell independence. An inexcusable error in this book. Of course it is five stars for content but the misspelling made it 4 stars for me - especially when it was spelled correctly numerous times throughout the book. This must have been done by a human, not a spellchecker, as there is no such word as "independance" the spelling used by SOHO Books.

Next best book after the Bible.
We need to know the details of our Constitution and what made America great. Especially when our freedoms are in jeopardy.

Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States of American, Bill of Rights and Constitutional Amendments
It's important to have verbatim evidence of our constitution and its amendments and the bill of rights, etc., because in today's political climate, we must know the limits of the bureaucracies to know whether or not boundaries are being overstepped (which I believe they are!).This puts all this vital information together in one place for easy reference.

Founding documents of the United States of America
The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights is the law of the land that does not change. It is not a "living document as activist judges want to believe, it is the written unchanging law of our land that explains what America is all about. These documents are very important; you should read them, know them.
