Gr 6–8—The 230-year-old Bill of Rights continues to be remarkable and affecting. Its creation was a compromise between the Federalist and Anti-Federalist factions, who both felt the government should serve, not rule, its populace. Each amendment is placed in its proper historical context, providing readers an opportunity to understand the significance of these issues to the framers. Then, the specifics of the language are broken down to explain what it means to citizens today. Debates surrounding each amendment are also explored.
VERDICT Concise writing and an amicable tone make these slim volumes an informative yet highly pleasant read, suitable for any collection
