Book Reviews of U.S. Constitution and You, The
Book Review: Interesting and easy to understand
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched and checked out several books on the Constitution for my 11 year old homeschooled daughter. She said, "I thought reading about the Constitution was boring until I got to this book." It's a sad statement on our educational system, but high praise for this book, that I'd wager my daughter now has a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution than many college graduates. I'm considering buying it (checked it out from the library), and only about 2% of the books we check out make that cut.
Summary of U.S. Constitution and You, The
All elementary school students learn about the history of the U.S. Constitution when they first begin social studies. This book is different. It tells boys and girls about the great American document itself--explaining exactly what the Constitution does, as well as how it affects and protects people today. Kids discover how the Constitution provides for the federal government's three branches--legislative, executive, and judicial. Then they see how it gives all citizens many rights, including the right to vote, to enjoy freedom of speech and the press, to worship--or not worship--according to one's religious beliefs, to disagree openly with government policy, and to defend oneself in courts of law when accused of crimes or civil wrongs. Kids also see how, according to the Constitution, many rights are kept beyond control of the federal government, and are reserved for the separate states, communities, and individuals. This book's language is clear and simple. It cites many examples that relate directly to each student's own experiences.Politics & Government Books
