In the belief that each American should he a student of freedom in order that he may accept no less than the genuine article, no weakened substitute, we here reprint this fundamental instrument of our free country, showing the changes which have been made, and the amendments which have been added. For this method of presentation of our Constitution, we are indebted lo Bruce A. Findlay's excellent new hook, "Guaranteed for Life."* Many Americans today feel that five additional amendments are needed to preserve our constitutional liberties. These five proposed amendments, which will be considered by the 84th Congress, are also included. *l'ii-iiliee'-IIeill. Inc., Publishers, 70 Fifth Ave., New York 11, N.
