Beskrivelse af The Constitution: It's the OS for the US
Have you struggled to really understand how our government is meant to work under the Constitution? Is it hard for you to explain to your kids? Do you want to really understand the Constitution, but find that books about it are too focused on how politics plays out today or too focused on legalese for a non-lawyer to follow? Have you ever wondered why certain things were included? Then this is the book for you!How is the Constitution like a computer? The President has veto power, which is like the firewall on a computer that can block something from ever entering the system. Just as you (or an administrator on a larger system) can over-rule the firewall and let something that may (or may not) be dangerous in, Congress can over-rule a Presidential Veto and allow that vetoed bill to become a law. The Judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, are like a virus protection program that warns you when something dangerous has entered the system and then works to remove it. Just as the two computer programs perform different but similar functions, the Presidential Veto and Supreme Court perform different functions. Don't worry if you don't know a lot about computer Operating Systems (OSs). The computer concepts are explained too. There are also links to more thorough explanations online.This doesn't discuss any current events - that isn't what it's about. It uses history to explain why things may have been included in the U.S. Constitution. The Constitutional Convention deliberately kept very limited records of their proceedings, making it hard to say absolutely why things were written.
