Title The Short Constitution
Summary "The Short Constitution" by Martin J. Wade and William F. Russell is an educational publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a straightforward guide to the Constitution of the United States, with a focus on explaining the personal rights and liberties enshrined within, particularly those in the Bill of Rights. The book aims to enlighten citizens, especially children, about their rights and responsibilities as part of American democracy and governance. The opening of the text sets a thoughtful tone, addressing the necessity for Americans to appreciate and understand how their Constitution safeguards life, liberty, and property. It highlights a pressing question in the hearts of many Americans: “What has America done for me and for my children?” The authors believe that to answer this question effectively, citizens must be educated about their constitutional rights and the significance of those rights in upholding justice and opportunity for all. The narrative introduces Judge Garland, who is invited to share knowledge about the Constitution, illustrating the importance of ensuring that citizens grasp the depth of their privileges and duties within a democratic society. Overall, the beginning underscores a commitment to fostering Americanism through education and engagement with the Constitution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
