Book Description
While the U.S. Constitution set forth the foundation of America's government, the rights of the citizens needed to be addressed. In March of 1789, the First Congress of the United States assembled and began to realize a set of Amendments to the Constitution. In September of that year, Congress proposed those Amendments to the states, and in mid-December, the states ratified the Bill of Rights. This book will walk kids through the Amendments and the trials-by-fire the Amendments faced.
