Who hasn't really. If you have ever been in a government class chances are you have read it, or at least the outlines of it. I own a copy, picked a nice one up from the book store. The constitution REALLY is worth knowing, how else could you know your rights?
Well, if you haven't read it I recommend looking it up =]

It sounds like you were studying under one of those Aztlan-promoting asshats. We did NOT steal the southwest.

Excellent classes on the constitution by a friendly libertarian. Goes over the entire thing. I'd suggest reading the constitution for yourself, then watching this for a more intimate understanding of the concepts behind it and how it is executed.

I've read it throughout several times, some very interesting stuff are in it. I have several copies between all the books I own. This is why I support Ron Paul, because he has read it and truly understands it, rather than paying lip service to it like the rest of these guys (and girl).

It is only what about 4,000 words? What is amazing is that almost every political question posed can be answered by an appeal to it. It truly is an amazing work.

You may want to watch some videos at FlexYourRights.org as they go over Amendments 4-6th which are some of the most important.

Of course, the two most important clauses are The Gold Clause and Habeas Corpus.

Here's the thing: Reading the Constitution isn't enough. It must be presented in context.

Watch this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8321747074978323622

It's the first part of an 8 hour introductory class to the United States Constitution. You will learn A WHOLE LOT. I did. I just watched it last weekend. It was very enlightening. I have recently read the Constitution, but just reading it isn't enough.

So really. Try to take the time (even if you're doing multiple things at once, or it it cuts into your TV time, or whatever) to watch this class. You WILL NOT regret it.

A guy named Mike Pannone from Jersey gave me a Citizen's Rulebook that has the Constitution in it---I keep it in my briefcase and read it whenever I am traveling. The thing is great!

Chicks think the Constitution is hot. Especially when they see you say to an Officer "Am I free to go? I do not consent to any searches."

Haha --- read son. "Briefcase", not "Pocket". I'm thinking about getting an extra backpack and carrying around 50 of them at a time to distribute, take the nerdism to the next level.

I was sitting with a good friend of mine from Kazakhstan. Yes, she is hot. Anyway, we got to talking about some politics, I have for the past several years had the Constitution and DoI on the wall in my living room, and I made a reference to the Constitution and she said 'Wow, I want to read that.' So, I whipped out my copy of the Constitution and turned to the Bill of Rights and had her read those. Then I had her read the Declaration of Independence (first two paragraphs). She said 'This is amazing. It is not like this in Kazakhstan.'

Oh, she asked how she could get a copy. I gave her my book (I have about 50 of these at home, 2 in my car and one I carry on my person on a regular basis).

You Da man, my MAN! I will read it soon!

 

[hard@work]

Not only have I read it, I'm reading what they wrote about it at the time. Eye opening and timeless philosophies.

 

[Spirit of '76]

Man, I was FORCED to read it many times.

When I was a kid, we had to memorize the Preamble in school (no, it wasn't that long ago).
