iA great resource that is actually recommended by College Board is the National Constitution Center website. Their interactive Constitution is quite amazing.
This website does for the Constitution what Genius.com does for music. It annotates, questions and illuminates points much like I am trying to do. In fact, it is work done by people much smarter and accomplished than me. As an example, the Preamble has two articles attached to it. One is by Erwin Chemerinsky called "Give Meaning to the Preamble" The second is by Michael Stokes Paulsen and is called "The Preamble's Significance for Constitutional Interpretation". While the Supreme Court may not take much stock in this part of the Constitution there is definitely meaning and importance behind the goals, the order and the wording of the Preamble. They both take a nicer spin on 'We the people" than I did to be fair but it is a great read if you want more perspective from much better sources. Keep reading my friends!
