I'm not an academic, but I am painfully insecure about my knowledge, or lack thereof, of the Constitution. I see the source for "America's Constitution: A Biography" but are there any others that I should be reading? I'm currently in the process of memorizing the constitution, but I want a greater depth of knowledge concerning the subject. Thanks for the help!
I would add Kammen, Michael. eds. The Origins of the American Constitution, A Documentary History. (New York: Penguin Books, 1986) and Kelly, Alfred H., Winfred A. Harbison, and Herman Belz. The American Constitution, Its Origins and Development. 6th ed. (New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1983).
