Abstract
From the opening of the Constitutional convention to the present, American political conversation invoking the Constitution has been raucous, robust, and frequently significant in its impact on public policy and on individuals’ lives. How much better would things be if many more stakeholders in this conversation were constitutionally literate? This book is a plea for that literacy, adding its voice to a chorus that seeks to demonstrate the value of constitutional literacy and to suggest improvements. This chapter summarizes the book’s efforts and suggests next steps.
