One of the best!

From the beginning I noticed that the narrator seem to know very well what he was reading until I realized that it was the author himself the narrator! He seems to be more talking to you than reading it. Relaxing, scholar voice in a book with treasuries everywhere to be found, not only about the constitution but also about American history, American law history and politics. Dr. Arnheim is surely well-versed with the American constitution and law in general. Great book! Great author!!!

Much better than I anticipated.

I love this audiobook. I've never had much of an interest in government, but I believe I'll listen to this over and over. Interesting and well done.

Well done!

Historically robust! As well as current. Thoroughly satisfying. Easy to Listen to and worth listening to again. Very well done.

Excellent book on the history and execution of the United States Constitution

It is always a pleasure for one to know where they came from that they might recognize what needs to be changed to accomplish one nation under GoOD...Knowledge is power!

Love it!

Learned so much and never got bored. I'm sure I'll listen to this one several times.

Understanding Is Paramount

I appreciate the way in which you explain the ‘Constitution.’ Anyone can read a text book; but applying that text to actual events, priceless. Get ready to write another version for the 2024 election. I think even you might be surprised. Hang in there please. :-)

well told from the author himself.

I listened to this entirely over 3 days and probably will again soon. The narrator is also the author so I feel he describes is intent very well.

Great reading!

Dr. Arnheim did a fantastic job and delivering his own book in audio form. I’m so grateful to have learned a lot from his work and will definitely look at referring to others. Especially my dad.

Not an Easy Listen; But Do It Anyway.

If you want to be inciteful and know what you are talking about when you comment on the running of these United States, this would be a good place to start your learning. The U.S. Constitution for Dummies, 2nd Edition, written and read by Dr. Michael Arnheim.

It does not seem to me, but I am speaking from an anecdotal perspective, this nation has taught its constituents civics. Test yourself out right here and now, define civics. How can we expect the magnificence of our democracy to continue if a large portion of us do not understand what provides us with our unique freedom?

This is not an exciting book. It is though, rather complete in presenting the structure of the Constitution, the history as to why it was so created, think through of how each section works, and the author’s comment on its history, effect, and needed correction. Aside: I do not often agree with the author. This book should be read by each of you who wonder about our liberty and want to be a better citizen. Not an Easy Listen; But Do It Anyway.

Extremely Informative, Concise, and Entertaining

Helped clarify quite a few things for me surrounding the Founders and Framers, the Articles of Confederation and The US Constitution, The Bill of Rights and subsequent constitutional amendments. Still a little fuzzy on how federal law trumps state law, but that’s for another book.
