I would like to acquire a copy of the US Constitution to send to each Republican Senator who acquitted Donald Trump at his Impeachment Trial;. It is quite clear that they have never read it. Please advise where I may purchase these.
i pretty sure they did read the constitution and thats why President Trump was aquitted!
You’re right on Lynda! It was shameful that he was put in the position in the first place.
You & Lynda are both morons & need to take a history lesson.
I just ordered a copy of the US Constitution and greatly appreciate that Hillsdale might help me…..in fact, if you could send TWO copies ) one for each of my 2 grandkids, it would be wonderful. I am a staunch Republican and supporter of Pres. TRUMP, including financial contributions. Your acknowledgement of my contact would be appreciated. Info about Hillsdale College would also be great!
Glen, we (MoneyPantry.com) don’t offer free copies of the US Constitution. We just list the companies and websites that do. You have to click the links in the post and visit each site and contact them directly on their website to get the freebie.

I think if we had CIVICS as a required high school course and everybody read the constitution we would realize that the political parties are not for us. They $upport their own existence.
We are AMERICANS! It is time to stand up and stop the petty party politics.
Americans are a special people of different races and ethnic backgrounds.
Not one of these places listed gives you a FREE pocket Constitution. If you have to pay for shipping costs or a copy costs $1-$5 that is NOT FREE.
The very first one on the list sends you a free pocket constitution with free shipping. I literally tested it now and requested mine!
We also mentioned in the post that for “some” you do have to pay for shipping. Nonetheless, the actual book is free.
Good information here. Nothing misleading if you have the capacity to read and understand.
When I attended secondary education civics was a required course.
There are other opportunities to acquire a free copy of our US Constitution. Do something for yourself instead of depending on everyone else.
Thanks for the kind words, S. I am glad you like the content.
