Phrase by Phrase Dissection of the Constitution 
The author takes the minutes of the Constitutional Convention and goes over every phrase in the Constitution to detail what the founders intended by the document. Essential to understanding what the Constitution means. Can be read as a book, or used as a reference.
"I entirely concur in the propriety of resorting to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution. And if that is not the guide in expounding it, there may be no security." (James Madison, in letter to Henry Lee June 25, 1824.)
"On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." (Thomas Jefferson, Letter To Justice William Johnson, Monticello. June 12, 1823.)

A Book that needs to read by every 13 year old in America
I read this book about a year ago, the way it broken down each section of the Constitution in easy to understand language, using alot of first person quotes and text direct from the writings of the Founding Fathers. If you want to learn about the intent of the Constitution this is a great place to start. It would also be a great text book for home schoolers and just plain schools.

A Must Read
This book is a must read for every American. This should be taught in our school system. Everyone should know the Constitution so they can see for themselves what the government is taking away. Liberty is for all not just a few.

The Making of America
A remarkably clear and lucid explanation of how the Constitution was formed. The author's sensitivity to historical context is exceptional. The book is written in a breezy high-school style that makes it accessible to essentially any reader. The author quotes extensively from the writings of the Founders so that the reader doesn't have to take his word for anything. This book is a "must-read" for anyone who wants to be an informed and responsible citizen of our republic.
