UPDATE: In a comment to this review, RedRocks explains that if you try to order the paperback version of this Penguin guide, you'll actually get the Skousen/LDS version instead."
"Large font easy to read."
"It also contains the Declaration of Independence, selections from the Federalist Papers, and about 95 pages of explanation of the history."
"Apparently, Amazon lumps together the reviews written for various print versions of the US Constitution. All print versions are not equal and many of the Amazon reviews do not apply to the print version I reviewed."
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Go share our Amendments to your foreign friend who says America is stupid."
"Of course the true beauty of this document is that the Founding Fathers knew it wasn't perfect and gave us the ability to amend and adapt it as times changed."
"What I like the most is being able to read this important document on my Kindle."
"It pains me greatly though that we have among us some sensationalizing, self-centered, self-indulgent, egotistical politicians who dare have the audacity to threaten to take away and eliminate even minute parts of these treasures because they do not fit in with their own ideologies."
We’ve spawned the thickest network of patronage and influence ever seen in any country, a crony capitalism in which business partners with government and transfers wealth from the poor to the rich. All such rules are a disaster, and should be replaced by a different set of laws that focus on crony capitalism and the nexus of legislators and lobbyists that prey on our economy. He is a frequent media guest and has appeared on Morning Joe, CNN, Rush Limbaugh, C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, Newsmax, Radio France, the CBC, NPR, and many others.

"One of the most incisive political observers around, F. H. Buckley has produced a work that drives straight to the heart of what makes our public institutions so dispiritingly corrupt."
"Buckley was a guest on my radio show on this subject of this book, which goes into more depth on the narrative of his last two books."
"For anyone who cares about corruption in American politics and thinks it one of the most pressing public issues of our time, Professor Buckley will teach you much that you did not know and, best of all, offer solutions."
"Comprehensive study of the issues and explanations of all aspects of each issue."
"Must reading for the present political moment."
"This book, ironically called the Republic of Virtue, which was a fine old epithet for the system our Founders set up, details the nature of the corruption that has overtaken our government, making it unresponsive to the needs of citizens, while allowing politicians to plunder the gargantuan state, with all of its moneyed tentacles in every part of our economy."
"The leaders of the Revolution attacked corruption in the British Parliament; the Founding Fathers designed the Constitution to check corruption; the influential reform movements of the 19th and 20th centuries sought to check corrupt influences in government."
Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. “James Duane’s amazing but true stories of innocent people exonerated after decades of wrongful imprisonment (which could have been avoided if they had just insisted on their fundamental right to avoid self-incrimination) are riveting reminders of the high price we pay, as individuals and as a society, when we fail to assert our constitutional rights.” —Laurence H. Tribe, Harvard Law School. You Have the Right to Remain Innocent describes a stream of miscarriages of justice that occurred only because innocent suspects cooperated with deceptive officers preying on their ignorance and good intentions. “Well-informed, scary, sobering, and sure to tick off police officers and prosecutors even as it contributes to keeping innocent people out of jail.” — Kirkus Reviews.

"I knew these tactics and techniques were used by law enforcement, I never knew how much simple statements could be woven into a guilty sentence for the most innocent."
"Ever wonder why every police spokesman's favorite sentence is, "we have no comment at this time", while their co-workers are out there using every dirty trick in the book to make everyone else confess to something immediately? Considering the near total destruction of our constitutional rights due to the exploitation of our fear of terrorists, coupled with the so-called War On Drugs, every American citizen should read this book. Make no mistake about it, American police today are armed to the teeth, and they do have the power to snatch you up for no reason - or at least a completely fabricated one - and haul you off to the pokey or worse. Our founding fathers, in their infinite wisdom, gave us our glorious constitution as protection against out of control authority, and ever since law enforcement has been searching for ways to circumvent it. I had been naively walking from my home to a friend's house 3 blocks away, and now I was being driven to another neighborhood where I was instantly identified by a desperate, irate and mistaken victim as the person who had violently snatched her purse minutes earlier, "absolutely positively!""
"He always said that fully one-third of all police officers had no business whatsoever being in a position of any authority."
"You Have the Right to Remain Innocent is a helpful glimpse to a side of the justice system average Americans don't see until it's too late."
"Excellent information everyone needs to know."
"Once you start looking, it's alarming to realize how many innocent people go to jail because they don't understand the system and they thought if they just told the truth to the arresting officers that everything would be ok. Three felony's a day... Know your rights, the don't and do's of using the 5th, when and when not to keep your mouth shut."
