Over at Cool Tools, Kevin Kelly has posted a review of a graphic adaptation of the US Constitution. Describing the document as “a robust self-correcting legal OS,” but admits that it can be hard to understand.
But he recommends the primer very highly. Although it’s the comic book version, “rather than dumbing it down, it smartens it up. [It] goes through the Constitution article by article, and explains what each bit means, why it is there, and how it came to be. Like the Bible, the Constitution doesn’t say what you thought it did. I was surprised what was not there as well as what was.”
He also includes some scans of full pages, so you can get an idea of what the book is like. Here’s the original post.
