See the US Constitution in a new light with this bold, modern and
accessible illustrated guide to the document that helped define
democracy. With the unprecedented events and actions that have
tested the American political system over the last several years,
including the violent overtaking of the U.S. Capitol Building,
there has never been a better time to take a closer look at the
Constitution, the bedrock of U.S. politics. As part of the critical
discussion of current events at school and at home, inquisitive
minds will have their questions vividly answered - and new ones
raised - by a mix of striking illustrations and clear, engaging
text, including passages from the Constitution given in plain
English. As well as a detailed history covering the original
Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all Amendments, discover how
this milestone in American democracy shapes and is shaped by the
world at large. We The People shows that, far from a fusty old
piece of paper, the US Constitution is a living, evolving rule book
that is as relevant today as it has ever been. A fresh take on a
monumental document, navigating in style its history and its life
today. Excerpts from the Constitution are presented here in plain
English to help young thinkers better understand the role it plays
in everyday life. Accessible, energetic text accompanied by
contemporary, powerful illustrations allows children aged 10 and
older to re-think the Constitution in a totally new way. A balanced
examination that does not shy away from addressing the difficulties
of interpreting and adapting the Constitution for the modern world.
We The People takes the Constitution out of its display case, blows
off the dust and re-imagines this piece of history for the next
generation.
