Michael Badnarik has created a constitutional primer that will edify and entertain schoolchildren and seasoned libertarians alike. Good to be King: The Foundation of Our Constitutional Freedom presents a thoroughly readable explanation of how our constitutional republic should work, and how the system became broken in the first place.

Mr. Badnarik starts with fundamentals, identifying the difference between rights and privileges. He discusses the critical and needed distinction between republican and democratic systems of government, arguing that freedom can survive in America only if we return to our republican roots. He also illustrates the forgotten tenets of federalism and states' rights, arguing that federal usurpation of state power has accelerated the loss of our freedoms.

The author then provides a detailed explication of the true meaning of major constitutional provisions and amendments. He does an excellent job of demystifying our founding document, demonstrating that ordinary Americans can and should understand the Constitution and how it applies to their lives.

Anyone who believes in limited government - that is to say anyone who believes in liberty - will benefit from reading this book. If we wish to remain free, we must constantly question and challenge conventional views about the proper role of government in our society. Good to Be King will serve as needed ammunition for libertarians and constitutionalists committed to resisting tyranny in America. I commend Michael Badnarik for authoring a compelling text on the foundations of liberty in America.

I have had a "parting of the ways" with my publisher. Because of this, my book also been removed from the fulfillment warehouse and shipped to me in Texas. I now have several thousand unsold books in a climate controlled storage facility for the time being. Unfortunately this means that my book is not readily available at Amazon.com or any of the bookstores. I plan to reestablish that connection, but it is not my highest priority at the moment. My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused anyone.
