Infos

This book tells the story of each Constitutional Amendment and the role that the Amendments have played in shaping the American experience. Based on solid research, it is written in an engaging style that is easy to comprehend and enjoyable to read. The Amendments guarantee the fundamental rights and liberties that Americans enjoy and should be understood by every citizen. They tell America's story from its founding to the present day. The Amendments play a vital role in the quest for gender and racial equity, and the continuing struggle to achieve social justice. They are the result of the American people's continuing efforts to perfect our Constitution, first through Acts of Congress, then through ratifications by State Legislatures, and finally by judicial review and interpretation. The Amendments are too important to be treated as afterthoughts, and this book seeks to rectify that by giving them the attention they deserve.
