"Many people have wondered why I've been speaking out on controversial issues for the last few years. They say I've never held political office. I'm not a constitutional scholar. I'm not even a lawyer. All I can say to that is 'Guilty as charged.' It's true that I've never voted for a budget America could not afford. I've never raised anyone's taxes. And I've never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation. Luckily, none of that really matters. Our founding fathers didn't want a permanent governing class of professional politicians. They wanted a republic, in Lincoln's words, 'of the people, by the people, and for the people.' A country where any farmer, small-business owner, manual laborer, or doctor could speak up and make a difference. I believe that making a difference starts with understanding our amazing founding document, the U.S. Constitution. And as someone who has performed brain surgery thousands of times, I can assure you that the Constitution isn't brain surgery. The founders wrote it for ordinary men and women, in clear, precise, simple language. They intentionally made it short enough to read in a single sitting and to carry in your pocket. I wrote this book to encourage every citizen to read and think about the Constitution, and to help defend it from those who misinterpret and undermine it. In our age of political correctness it's especially important to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees our freedom to speak, bear arms, practice our religion, and much more. The Constitution isn't history--it's about your life in America today. And defending it is about what kind of country our children and grandchildren will inherit. I hope you'll enjoy learning about the fascinating ways that the founders established the greatest democracy in history--and the ways that recent presidents, congresses, and courts have threatened that democracy. As the Preamble says, the purpose of the Constitution is to create a more perfect union. My goal is to empower you to help protect that union and secure the blessings of liberty."--Book jacket.

A More Perfect Union is an analysis and explanation of the both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States. Doctor Carson provides information and background on the writing of the Constitution, the legislative branch, the executive branch, the judicial branch, each article of the Constitution, each amendment of the Bill of Rights, and additional amendments to the Constitution. The purpose of the author is to inform Americans about these significant foundational documents. The dangers of political correctness (a threat to freedom of speech) and being an informed American are the major themes of the book. Doctor Carson also emphasizes that the biggest threat to freedom in America is a lack of knowledge about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As an American history and government teacher I found this book to be both informative and highly readable. I plan on keeping it as a reference tool on my book shelf in my classroom.
