171 – Pledge to Read the Constitution

For many Americans, reciting the words of the Pledge of Allegiance is like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket. Familiar, yet sometimes polarizing, these words describe a country that is fast disappearing into the mist of the past. But is that the only pledge the American people should be making. We’ll ponder that next, on The Constitution Study.

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
