About this book
Reviews
"Starting from the premise that the United States Constitution is our constitution, Donald Dahlin poses a series of thought-provoking and timely questions about what the carefully chosen words of the Constitution mean, how the words are interpreted, and who should interpret them. Dahlin's questions are on point and his analyses are elegantly accessible. His book's great contribution is to make our founding document understandable to those who are not lawyers and academics and to give readers the confidence to discuss contemporary constitutional issues intelligently." - Michael A. Wolff, professor of law, Saint Louis University; former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri.
"We the People is an excellent supplemental text for undergraduate classes in American politics, including the intro course. It engages the student through posing questions for the student to answer and the providing the author's logic. The text is balanced and informed." - Kenneth J. Meier, Charles H. Gregory Chair in Liberal Arts, Department of Political Science, Texas A&M University
