BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)

Thom Hartmann's "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month Review

Most Americans have never read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution in their entirety, even though the process would take the average reader less than an hour. There are several small pocket editions of the two documents, but this one is unique in that it contains an excellent introduction by Cass R. Sunstein, and that it contains Thomas Jefferson's brilliant 1777 "Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom in Virginia."

This latter by Jefferson - only 5 pages long in this palm-sized edition - was referred to by historian William Lee Miller as "one of the essential documents defining American civilization." Jefferson's "Bill" reads, in its entirety as follows [keep an eye out for the "mangled" phrase in the preamble that he necessarily had to include in order to get it passed, as noted later]:

Description | back to top

In one compact volume, the full texts of both the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with all ratified twenty-seven amendments to the Constitution are side by side -- along with another of America's seminal documents, Thomas Jefferson's VIRGINIA STATUTE ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, an additional world-changing document that codified for the first time that one cannot be required by law to support or prefer any belief or be punished for those one does profess--and the basis for what we have come to know as the "wall of separation" between church and state. Who we are and what we are free to be as citizens of the United States of America is contained between these covers. Enhanced by an index and suggestions for further reading, this volume, small in size but overwhelming in the impact of its contents, belongs in the home of every citizen of the United States.
