This book should have been titled " The US Constitution - A socialists viewpoint" because thats what it actually contains.He rambles on about the 2000 presidential election, how Bush did not win the popular vote. Does this info belong in a book about the inner workings of the constitution? I dont think so.
Mr Cooke also does not recognize our form of government as a Federal Republic. He refers to it in other terms.
He completely neglects to mention that the main source of ideas for the US Constitution was Christian beliefs as interpreted by John Locke, an English Philosopher and Scholar, although he mentions John Locke in passing.
Dont waste your money. Amazon has much better material on our countrys great documents than this. Keep looking.
