The Constitution and Its Amendment (Vols. 1-4) [Hardcover]

Roger K. Newman (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-The 165 signed essays in this four-volume set are arranged chronologically and highlight the Constitution's 7 articles and 27 amendments. They offer clear explanations of political, social, and judicial issues and cover important Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, the right to die, and censorship are also discussed. Black-and-white photographs, illustrations, and political cartoons accompany nearly every article, breaking the text into digestible sections. Terms are defined in sidebars, which cumulatively create the glossary found in the fourth volume. The set includes a comprehensive index but lacks a list for further reading. An understandable resource on Constitutional interpretation, distinctive in its accessibility.
