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.
Great presentation. I notice you use by default the inaccurate term ‘nation’ in referring to this republic. Several times you used ‘union’ instead. In terms of our literal stipulation in the law (US Constitution 4.4) and in terms of political economy, REPUBLIC is the only accurate term for these united states, as we explain here:

Actually, depending on the context, all three terms can describe the United States of America.
The Constitution is a compact between states, effectively creating a union.
While we are all citizens of the states in which we reside, we are also citizens of this union of states, which can properly be called a nation.
Republic describes the polity that this nation is governed by, as opposed to the democracy it is often called.
BTW, all these quotations come from the Webster’s 1828 dictionary.
