A Look at the Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the U.S Constitution, guarantees Americans individual liberties. It's the backbone of our law. Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution likely wouldn't have been approved. Each volume of this essential set focuses on a key amendment or part of an amendment, explaining what it means, its importance, and how it's been applied over the years. Readers will appreciate the approachable text and accessible descriptions that will help them not only understand each amendment but its relevance in their lives. Fact boxes, historical photographs, and concluding graphic organizers reinforce critical concepts.
