Just started We Hold These Truths, by Mortimer J. Adler. Adler was a philosopher/writer who specialized in education. He wrote many books, but was best known as the editor and compiler of the 60-volume Great Books Of The Western World.

We Hold These Truths was written in 1987 for the bicentennial of the US Constitution. It's supposedly written for the layman, but it is a bit strong on the philosophical side, discussing the "ideas and ideals of the Constitution". Still, I'm having fun so far.
