Pocket US Constitution Becomes Best-Seller After Speech

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Jul 30, 2016, 9:06 PM ET

A pocket version of the U.S. Constitution has become a best-seller on Amazon.com.

The 52-page pamphlet printed by the National Center for Constitutional Studies sells for $1 and was in the Top 10 best-selling books on Amazon on Saturday afternoon. The site produces an hourly list of its best sellers.

The Constitution emerged as a best-seller days after Muslim-American lawyer Khizr Khan, whose son was killed while serving in Iraq, flashed a pocket Constitution and offered to lend it to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The version Khan used at the convention did not appear to be the same as the one that became popular on Amazon.

A message sent to Amazon seeking sales details for the Constitution pamphlet was not immediately returned.

He has his own version, much classier, better in every way. Even has 12 Articles.

Also smaller so tiny hands can hold it...

have never actually read the Constitution

8. I ordered a version that is about $5 and includes the Constitution, Declaration of Independence,

all the Amendments, and the Articles of Confederation.

It also has the same blue background as Mr. Khan's.

Who knows? It might even be the same.

Dems don't honor it.
