SHAPIRO: An Introduction To The U.S. Constitution

It is the single greatest founding governmental document in the history of the world.

The Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1789, has now provided the framework for the most powerful, successful, and free nation on the planet for the past 230 years. Americans haven’t always lived up to the promises of the Constitution; America’s history has been a constant battle to fulfill those promises. But the principles undergirding our Constitution are eternal, and eternally true, and the system of government borne of those principles is incomparably durable.
