So you already know who the authors of the constitution are, and you already know when it was written, and you may even know why it was written - but do you know exactly what the constitution does, both for you and for governmental procedures? Do you know how it protects you, even today? With quite a lot of text for a 48-page book, this one tells you all about the rules for the government, the three branches of government, checks and balances, the people's powers, changing the constitution, rights of the people, rights of the states, and the constitution and you. The text is very clear, explaining the government and the constitution in language that can actually be understood. Illustrations are sprinkled throughout, and a glossary clears up some of those hard-to-understand words or phrases. ~ Zach
