The Articles of Confederation were the foundation for the Federal Government in the United States prior to our current Constitutional form. Those Articles are not widely understood and rarely read. The reasons for this are varied but largely spawn from the document being challenging to read. The language is old, it is full of phrases no longer used, and does not follow modern styles. We have written this book for non-lawyers to start to understand this founding document that was, in our opinion, a rough draft for the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution is the bedrock of all laws in this Nation. However, it is often misquoted, misunderstood, or largely misinterpreted (perhaps ignored).
Timothy Imholt and Michael Garst are to veterans of the US Army from the enlisted ranks. This book was written by them in an attempt to help people understand this document and these principals.
In this book is the original Constitution. The challenge with understanding or interpreting the document is that the language is challenging. It is old, and written in a way that makes it difficult to understand. After the original document is broken down article by article, section by section, a modern day language version of the document is provided. Every attempt was made to not change any meaning or have a political slant in this modernization process. The authors of this book have no political agenda. The hope is that people gain a better understanding of these passages while not having to be enraged by a political slant.
Once the modernization of each Article, Section and Amendment is complete a short discussion is provided in a way to be understandable by anyone and everyone who has interest in this topic. These are clearly labeled as discussion and are merely common sense interpretations or opinions of what these various things mean to us in our daily lives and how they should be applied. It is this section that two enlisted veterans believe certain politicians should read and read carefully. We the people must be heard. Common sense must rule the day, it certainly ruled the founding of this country.
