Walter Berns's book is must reading for every judge, law student, or member of the general public who wants to know more about our Federal Constitution. Berns concisely and clearly relates the history of the document but brings it down into modern, everyday life with an excellent discussion of the difference between "rights" and "interests" which keep getting confused by the United States Supreme Court.

Walter Berns is a resident scholar at AEI.
