There's been a lot of discussion on the LDS Classical Homeschool yahoo group about what sort of Constitutional education we should give our children. Or, in several people's case (including my own) our own education. Here are some of the titles recommended:

*Uncle Eric books (Whatever Happened to Penny Candy, How Ancient Rome affects us Today, and more available at www.bluestockingpress.com )
*The Federalist Papers
*John Locke (I think it's 2 treatises on government)
