However, Wilder added something to the Constitution, the Declaration, and the other documents that other companies have not: A warning label.
Here's what some people think of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence:
If Wilder Publications was afraid that their copies of our founding documents would cause controversy, I wonder if they are satisfied that their idiotic warning labels will offend many more people than the documents themselves ever will?

“This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”Wow. Exactly which values would that be? The adherence to limited government? The idea that we have natural rights that government cannot take away? The abolition of slavery?

What other books have these idiots published? I wouldn't want to buy something from them by mistake.
"Product of its time?" Product of ALL time. God bless America.
Amen, Don. "Product of ALL time." I like it!
A few suggestions:
The value that slavery was OK?
The value that women should not vote?
If you can read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and think that the documents says that slavery was OK, then you need to reread those documents and especially the notes that were taken regarding the debates over slavery.
Show me where in the Constitution that it said women could not vote. That prohibition was enforced on a local level, and individual states were rectifying the situation decades before the 19th Amendment was ratified.
