Janie Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 This looks more thorough than anything I've seen on the Constitution as a focused study. I'd love to hear comments --pros & cons-- about this book. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My son used this in a high school US govt co-op class. The teacher who selected the book is an excellent Christian educator with high standards for accurate history and student participation. I looked over the book, though I was not the one instructing from it. My son enjoyed it and learned a lot. This book is a keeper, in addition to being a textbook, I consider it a great reference item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plimsoll Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Another option would be The Making of America - The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution, by W. Cleon Skousen. You could supplement with a number of the Uncle Eric books by Rick Maybury. Although well-known for his books on economics, Maybury has also written books on politics and justice. Bluestocking Press publishes these books along with supplementary study guides. Edited November 18, 2010 by plimsoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yes, I use that book for my logic stage kids when we cover the modern era. We do government studies when we go through that time period. It is very comprehensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
