COPY ISBN
Gr 3–5—These attractive volumes deftly analyze the causes and effects of the respective amendments. Each offers a brief overview of the issue involved, such as the history of guns in colonial America, and proceeds to list and examine the reasons behind each amendment. For instance, people did not want general warrants for searching their private property. Then the books delve into the subsequent laws and Supreme Court cases. Fast facts are included, such as "Pennsylvania was formed as a colony for people seeking religious freedom." All of the books contain the entirety of the Bill of Rights. The writing is succinct, but the information is quite comprehensive.
VERDICT Nicely done accounts of the history of the Bill of Rights. A valuable addition to school and public libraries.
Each of these accessible titles examines the causes for and effects of an amendment to the Bill of Rights, including how the amendment came to be, how it has evolved over time, and current controversies surrounding it. The dry but informative texts are accompanied by drawings, photographs, and quotes, as well as "Fast Facts" and word definitions. Timeline. Glos., ind.
