Collectively known as the United States Bill of Rights, these first ten amendments to the United States Constitution limit the powers of the federal government and protect the rights of all citizens, residents and visitors on United States territory. Introduced in 1789 in the First United States Congress by James Madison, these amendments came into effect on December 15, 1791, when ratified by three-fourths of the states. This document plays a central role in American law and remains to this day a symbol of the freedoms and culture of this nation. In this beautiful gift edition, the text of the Bill of Rights is set alongside a history of the amendments, thus placing the document in its historical context.

This document is never outdated and will never need revision, it's a close to perfect as possible by man...Read It Carefully!

We all know something about our Bill of Rights but we forget that they were written to protect us from government. The writing style used does take some getting used to but it is still relevant now more than ever. When reading this, people often think the founders were "visionary", they were business men, shop owners, some with very little education and all had much to lose with rebellion from England. Still, this series of rights have no equal in the world even today...ask yourself why other nations don't have this set of rights as laws. Read it and you'll understand why a government would not want this bill of rights... that restricts their power.

Not what's advertised

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020

The actual Bill of Rights, amendments 1 through 10, are what they are. The value of the other sections is dubious. Yes, they deal with the Bill of Rights, and in Madison's Proposal, in the fourth enumeration ("Fourthly") he addresses the issues contained in the Bill of Rights. In no way do these sections, however, show "...a history of the amendments, thus placing the document in its historical content."
I should have know by the low price and the number of pages that this would not be a substantial analysis.

It’s on our ottoman and everyone has picked it up and read it. We’re now having conversations about it as a family. It’s great.

I just became a permanent resident, so I bought the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence as celebration. They are great little books and look great on a bookshelf.

This is a must-have for those who have gone a little foggy on the Bill of Rights since high school. The binding is first rate.

It's a very small, short book. I was expecting a couple hundred pages of background to the bill of rights not a brochure.

Just Buy the Constitution

Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2018

It's surprisingly more dull than the Constitution - which I found easy to read. The letters and background provided is interesting, but quite dry, even for history buffs and people who weirdly enjoy reading constitutions like me.
