U.S. Constitution Now Available in Spanish

The Cato Institute has released a bilingual edition of its popular pocket edition of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. This edition features a new translation, with the English and Spanish text on facing pages, and a preface by constitutional scholar Roger Pilon.
Today, 12.5 percent of the total U.S. population is of Hispanic descent. And one in 10 Americans is a native Spanish speaker--28.1 million in all. As these numbers continue to increase, Cato believes that it is important to give new Americans access to America's founding documents.
This new edition will be useful to those preparing for citizenship tests and anyone seeking a greater understanding and appreciation of the principles of American government. It will also be of interest to students of history and inter-American relations in Spanish-speaking countries.
Published in September in conjunction with National Hispanic Heritage Month, the bilingual edition is an indispensable guide for immigrants, new citizens, and lovers of liberty.
