The United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Library Binding
(Powerkids Pr Jan. 1, 2014)
After more than 2 years, the US Constitution remains the supreme law of the land. This invaluable volume delves into why the Constitution was written and discusses how amendments have enabled it to evolve over time. Attention is paid to each of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, added in 1791 to protect personal freedoms. Each of Constitutions seven articles is explained, as well. The book concludes with a discussion of the Constitutions central place, both throughout American history and today. A map of the early United States and an illustrated timeline make key points easy to grasp.
