The United States Constitution (Hardcover)

This richly illustrated history of the Constitution of the United States provides an accessible and creatively produced way to learn about the American Constitution, beginning with the historical settings in Europe and the New World, the philosophical underpinnings, and the human struggle to write and ratify it. Aaron McConnel`s comic book-style art and Jonathan Hennessey`s text work together successfully to convey a real sense of We, the People. Each article of the Constitution gets its own section, as does The Bill of Rights and the other amendments, some of which are grouped together, such as the Reconstruction amendments and the progressive era amendments. In all, McConnell and Hennessey retain the key idea of the Constitution as a living document that remains relevant yet can be interpreted anew in each era. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
