I'd like to put in a plug for a book, which I finished reading today. It's Michael Stokes Paulsen and Luke Paulsen, The Constitution: An Introduction (New York: Basic Books, 2015). Despite my background in political science, history, law, and philosophy, and despite having written a Ph.D. dissertation on constitutional interpretation, I learned a great deal while reading this book. Not the least of its virtues is that it's beautifully written. I would recommend it to any high-school or college student. If you're a parent or grandparent, you might consider a joint reading with your child or grandchild, pausing after each chapter to discuss what you've read. It's appalling how ignorant young people are of their founding documents. This book is the remedy.
