Genius of America, by Eric Lane
and Michael Orestes

The Genius of America: How the Constitution Saved Our Country and Why It Can Again, by Eric Lane and Michael Orestes. The failure of many Americans to understand their own government can only be attributed to a lapse in the education system when it comes to the teaching of civics. Lane and Orestes address this problem, first by supplying a first rate education about the founding of the constitution, how it works, and the historic relation the American nation has with the constitution. Second they have analyzed how the knowledge base of average Americans has eroded over time, and finally, they supply a remedy for the problem. This is a fascinating work that deserves to be read by anyone who cares about good government.
