Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 04/01/2011 Gr 6–9—These well-written, objective, and informative introductions to the Bill of Rights discuss the historical reasons for each amendment, its basis in British and American common law, and the statutory and case law that shaped its implementation and development. The authors include differing viewpoints about the scope and definition of each of these protections and analyze how they affect modern society, law, and government. Sidebars and large, captioned photos and illustrations supplement the texts. While primarily useful for reports, these books will also give students perspective on current events. - Copyright 2011 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
