Description
Bain has rearranged the 1787 US Constitution for the benefit of students who are studying it. Parts that are no longer effective are now at the back, amendments are with the articles they amend, and new sections consider citizenship and the right to vote and rights and equality. He has also updated old spellings and letters, broken up long sentences, replaced obsolete terms, and defines terms in the margins. The original Constitution follows his new arrangement, and he refers passages in the new one to their equivalent in the old. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

The antique spellings, punctuation, and grammatical forms have been modernized.This modern edition of the Constitution is unique—there’s nothing else like it in print. Readers of all types, from those just curious about our country’s foundation to practitioners of constitutional law, can now easily understand what the writers of the Constitution envisioned for America more than two centuries ago.
