The U.S. Constitution for Everyone: Features All 27 Amendments

by Jerome B. Agel, Mort Gerberg

History comes alive in this illustrated guide to the Constitution and all 27 Amendments.

The Constitution has been in the news a lot recently. But most of us could probably use a refresher on this founding document of America--you can probably name the first and second amendments, but what about the 11th, or the 22nd? And what does all of that formal political language actually mean for us today?

The U.S. Constitution for Everyone  answers these questions and more,
- How does impeachment work, anyway?
- How long is a Senator's term?
- What is covered by "freedom of speech"?
- What are "emoluments"?
- How exactly does a bill become a law?

This book makes understanding your rights easy with clear explanations of the complete text of the U.S. Constitution, as well as all 27 Amendments, alongside fascinating historical facts and explanations.

A must-read for students, curious citzens, and everyone who'd like to know more about the supreme laws of our nation.

This book made the Constitution more interesting, a little more easily understood and gave important history surrounding the constitution and the amendments.

It amazes me to know that the name "God" does not exist in the constitution of the United States. Interesting!

I bought this book for a U.S. Gov class. I really liked the explanations along the U.S. Constitution articles and amendments.
