Reading the Constitution

I'm a software engineer by training and trade, as such, I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds from other computer folks. One of those feeds, is for Scott Berkun. His blog focuses on user interface design, project management, innovation, web 2.0 and other tech-savy things.

So, what does that have to do with the Constitution or spec-fic in general? Well, I'm an avid reader, as anyone who notices the number of book reviews hiding under the "review" tag could probably guess, and as such things that are read are of great interest to me.

Anyways, Mr. Berkun posted an entry on his blog and questioned why Americans did not read the relevant documents to our Fourth of July holiday (specifically meaning the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence).

It's a good question, and one I'm suddenly asked myself. Luckily, he provides links to the relevant documents from his blog entry.
