Everyone should read the American Constitution.  More importantly, every American should understand the thing.

Go.

There are only 7 Articles in the Constitution written in Philadelphia throughout the summer of 1787. 

Article I – Legislative Branch [Makes Laws]

Article II – Executive Branch [Enforces Laws]

Article III – Judicial Branch [Interprets Laws]

Article IV- States [Role and Rights of States]

Article V – Amendments [Changes can be made]

Article VI – Supremacy [Constitution declares itself supreme law of the land]

Article VII – Ratification [9 of 13 states approval make it official]

THAT’S IT.  You probably already knew most of that.  Sure, there’s different levels to each of these Articles, but this document was written to be understood by grade school students.  Sadly, many people today feel they can’t approach it, the concepts within must be far above our meager minds.  Every kid in America should learn the above 7 points, but teachers and textbooks don’t bother. 

Elite lawyers and politicians want us to believe they are so brilliant and above us all that we should just let them figure everything out.  We must be aware of all types of agendas from all types of people.  Regardless of political persuasion, nobody ever dismisses the Constitution.  If there are two sides battling over an issue, they are both appealing to the Constitution to support their argument. 

All the Founders did was establish the greatest government of all time from scratch.  Over two centuries later, hundreds of countries have duplicated their efforts.  We should know what all the fuss is about.
