The Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution
of the United States of America
 

Cato Institute,
Washington, D.C., 1998;
58 pages

This 5" tall, 3.5" wide booklet is pocket sized so it's handy for immediate reference, or just showing friends. I read it in my leisure time and work it into my reports and class discussions whenever there's something controversial. Sometimes the Declaration or the Constitution helps us see what's involved.

There is a preface by Roger Pilon who states the importance and benefits of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Without the Founding Fathers and their work, we might still be a province of England; still without a Constitution, with few of the rights we have today, and shrinking rights like self-defense and trial by jury.

To encourage distribution, the Cato Institute prices these booklets inexpensively, with a multi-copy discount.
