Rating: - Should be Required Reading
I am still on Article I, but already recognize this as a 5 star item, just based on its treatment of the Preamble and the Constitutional Convention. The passage of an oral exam on this book should be a mandatory requirement to graduation from law school, as well as a prerequisite to any degree, particularly any advanced degree, in the fields of History and Political Science.

Rating: - Review of Heritage Guide to Constitution
I am not completely done going through this book but it reveals the history behind the thoughts that went into writing the constitution. It is fairly interesting and not difficult to follow. Good if you want some background into the laws of our land.

Rating: - Invaluable to anyone with an interest in the meaning of the Constitution.
This is a remarkable work with contributions from more than a hundred legal scholars. The intent is to "present the Founder's understanding of the Constitution and its various provisions" along with the judicial interpretations and political circumstances that make up the historical development of constitutional law. Intended for an audience of lawmakers, judges and lawyers, the Heritage Guide is also a valuable addition to the library of any person with an abiding interest in one of the most - if not the most - remarkable documents created by the hand of man.

Every line of the Constitution is scrutinized, interpreted and discussed. Significant cases are cited and references for further research are provided.

This is definitely not light reading, but it is certainly informative and enlightening reading.
