A friend of mine and I were recently talking about the state of our country, things going on, fears, and other things. Now Susan is probably one of the most educated people on the exact meaning of many laws and rules that I know. So I love talking to her whenever I need something cleared up.
During our conversation she asked me if I truly understood the Constitution of the United States. After thinking about her question for a moment, I had to admit that no I did not. She told me that most Americans don't and suggested that I read the 5000 year leap.
It is unbelievable. No matter what your political stand is, I would like to encourage EVERY AMERICAN to read The 5000 Year Leap: A MIRACLE that changed the world.
This is not something that caters to the right or the left. It simply educates you on our constitution. Explains why our founding fathers included what they did and why it works. It also reminds us all, not of our American rights that we all at one time or another take for granted, but of our American duties that go along with those rights. It also clearly shows how the constitution is not 'outdated' like many people want to believe and why the founding principles have worked so well.
This book is an easy read and rich in information about our country's most sacred document... the Constitution of the United States. I will admit that until that conversation I had not ever put as much thought into what our Founding Fathers went through to put the constitution together. I am ashamed to say I took it for granted. I will no longer. I will continue to educate myself on what my duties are as an American Citizen. I hope you do too.
