The App Burrito: Volume 2 - Getting Schooled

Smartphones are not only a great place to play games and listen to music. They can also be portable learning centers. I use mine for just about everything, and as a later-in-life student, I have found several apps that serve as excellent reference material. It doesn't matter if you're studying astronomy, law, math or history. There is an app to help you through all of it. These are a few of my favorites.

United States Constitution

We hear plenty about our Constitution these days. The problem is that most of the people that swing it over their heads have never read it. This app not only brings you the constitution, it breaks it down by Preamble, Articles and Amendments. It lists the signatories, gives a history and even lists failed Amendments. The app also provides a variety of complete documents such as the Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation and the Miranda Warning. You can also read important speeches such as the Liberty or Death speech, the Gettysburg Address and I Have a Dream. The app is simple yet spectacular, and every American should have it. It's absolutely free, so there's just no excuse not to own it.
