the US Constitution

in audio, because we need to know this stuff

Have you read the US Constitution lately?

It’s only about 20 pages long, and when it was written it was done so in the language of the everyday farmer so everyone could understand it. Things have changed though, hmm? Words like “herein” (in) and “enumeration” (counted) and “apportioned” (assigned) aren’t hard; they’re just not a normal part of our daily conversation. So let’s do this!

Grab your dictionary and we’ll take it in small segments, so hang on to this page — it’s linked on the main page (under “links”) for easy access.

You can follow along with the text here.

• Part 1: Article 1, sections 1-5

• Part 2: Article 1, sections 6-10

• Part 3: Article 2

• Part 4: Articles 3-7

• Part 5: Amendments 1-12

• Part 6: Amendments 13-19

• Part 7: Amendments 20-27

Here is a terrific free course by Hillsdale College, and here is a series of 1-minute lessons (also from Hillsdale), and here is my reading of the Declaration of Independence.
