Read more Customers Review: In this coffee table book “VOICES OF OUR REPUBLIC,” edited by Douglas H. Ginsburg, author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is quoted as saying, “…every generation of Americans needs to fall in love with democracy…” The structural design of the democracy to which she refers is the United States Constitution, a document that every generation of Americans should be familiar with and, if not love, at least revere. The book includes the document itself so we have no excuse for not reading it. Our United States, even with its faults, stands above all other countries in no little part due to the beauty of our Constitution and its consecrated commitment to “form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…” This book, replete with photos and insightful quotes about our Constitution from everyday folks and from more well-known ones, too, can serve as a nudge for all of us to remember the Founders of our country, their struggles and their triumphs and to hold sacred this masterful blueprint for a democratic republic which they have so gratefully passed down to “We the People.”
