Featuring 113 essential primary source documents, THE U.S. CONSTITUTION: A READER is taught as part of the core undergraduate course on the U.S. Constitution at Hillsdale College.

Divided into eleven sections with introductions by members of Hillsdale's Politics Department faculty, readings cover the American founding, Civil War, Progressivism, and the rise of the administrative state.

I think this is great.  The book is online and searchable.
