It was meant to be debated.

I think very few people have read the Constitution cover to cover, in part because some of it's just really boring.

Trust me, I read it and I wrote about it and I was like, there were times I was like, whoa, article one's really long, but I did it so you don't have to.

And I go through and I explain what every single clause is doing, what it's for, what they were animated by when they decided to include it.

There's all kinds of really fun stories about the Constitution that you probably didn't even know that are in this book and detailed here.

Ordinary people who make claims on the Constitution and manage to affect constitutional change, that's important to know right now.
