Book excerpt: Constitutional Sound Bites makes America's Founding Documents and First Principles accessible and relevant to all by sharing brief explanations of key provisions and moments in the documents' creation. In a era when the emphasis on our Nation's founding is in decline in our children's classrooms, and where attention spans are measurably decreasing with each passing year, Constitutional Sound Bites addresses both realities with meaningful and manageable content.If John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison were trying to reach modern America, they would need to change their methods and accommodate the way we communicate today. We've become used to getting information in the small doses of media sound bites, short blog posts and 140 character Twitter feeds. We are inundated with "information" in these ways, and with the best of luck, when something of value shoots across our personal radar, we reach out, grab it and investigate more. The entries in this book are "sound bites" about the United States Constitution. It is the English companion to the Spanish language Capsulas Informativas Constitucionales.
