1. Can't claim to have read all the amendments.

But 95% of it, yes.

[hlthe2b]

2. Not in the past three years, but more than once the past 10 (GWB* gave me much motivation to do so)

[Half-Century Man]

3. Repeatedly.

For political science classes, at first. Now to nit-pic on rethuglacans.

I have issues.

[arcane1]

4. I had to vote "no" because it's been more than three years.

[Iggo]

5. Oh, wait. In the past three years? Then, No.

That 3 years part should be in the subject line.

[MineralMan]

6. The three year thing is just there to provide an idea of

how recently. Most of us read it at some point in our lives, if only during our school years. Many people read it more frequently, which is why I'm trying to discover how many. That's why I put the three year thing in there. I read it each year on July 4. That date, because it's easy to remember in connection with the founding of the US.

7. and

I'm starting to re read the federalist papers too.

[MineralMan]

8. That's a great combination, isn't it?

It's been a while since I've read them. I should do it again soon.

12. About the 50% of your views not considered liberal...

which half are your conservative, or as you identify, "republican" views? Which issues?

[Token Republican]

13. Here

My intro and disclaimer

[morningfog]

9. Yes to the entirety at least once recently. Portions of it all the time.

[MineralMan]

11. Thanks. It's good to hear from people for whom it is

an important, familiar document.

[Ptah]

10. I'm a christian and I have read the U.S. Constitution.

[longship]

15. Article VI, last paragraph.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Emphasis mine.

Claiming to be Christian in this context is a non-sequitur.

[Ptah]

16. A previous post by the OP broke down the respondents by religion.

I thought it should have been included in this poll.

[theHandpuppet]

21. That's okay. I'm an atheist lesbian and I carry a copy in my purse.

Really, I do. And I'll bet people are surprised I carry a purse.

[longship]

14. Yup! I carry one with me just about everywhere.

C-SPAN was giving away copies years ago. My dog eared copy is still at hand pretty much at hand all the time.

Good question, MM.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. Nope. Only the bill of rights.

[Initech]

18. 8th grade history class - it's a requirement in California.

[WatermelonRat]

19. It's among the shortest constitutions in the world.

It boggles my mind that there are people who haven't read it.

[LostOne4Ever]

20. Read it all, but not in the last 3 years (nt)

[trackfan]

22. I copied the whole thing by hand when I was a teenager.

Under no duress!

[theHandpuppet]

23. You win the prize!

I'm not sure what that is right now, but perhaps someone could come up with a fitting award.
