A Citizen's Guidebook to the American Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights Primer is a valuable reference to understand your freedoms. Many Americans reference the Bill of Rights, a document that represents
many of the freedoms that define the United States. Who doesn’t know
about the First Amendment’s freedom of religion or Second Amendment’s
right to bear arms? In this pocket-sized volume, Akhil Reed Amar and Les
Adams offer a wealth of knowledge about the Bill of Rights that goes
beyond a basic understanding.
The Bill of Rights Primer
is an authoritative guide to all American freedoms. Uncluttered and
well-organized, this text is perfect for those who want to study up on
the Bill of Rights without needing a law degree to do so. Published in durable, paperback format that features a convenient smaller size so you can take this important information wherever you go.
This
elementary guidebook presents a short historical survey of the people,
events, decrees, legislation, writings, and cultural milestones, in
England and the American colonies, that influenced the Founding Fathers
as they drafted the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. With helpful
comments and fun facts in the margins, the book will provide a deeper
understanding of the Bill of Rights, exhibiting that it is not a
stagnant document but one with an evolving meaning shaped by historical
events, such as the American Civil War and Reconstruction. |
