We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union . . . establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
A simple, unintimidating introduction to the US Constitution and the rights it grants every American citizen.
The American Constitution is one of the nation’s most important documents—but what is it saying, exactly? This book helps children understand the answer to that question. In simple, accessible language, it describes how the Constitution was drafted and who the Founding Fathers were; provides a summary of all the articles, amendments, and the Bill of Rights; and explains why the document remains so relevant today.

      Barcella details the history, origins, and original purpose of the U.S. Constitution and discusses its continuing relevance. Chapters focus on the division of power among the branches of government, the Bill of Rights, and constitutional amendments. Throughout, she provides handy recaps in graphs and charts, and sidebars introduce additional facts and invitations for critical thinking. Readers may be particularly intrigued by the “How Does This Affect Me?” sections, in which Barcella underscores the importance of learning about the Constitution: “If you’re ever arrested and brought in for questioning, it is your right to plead the Fifth.” References to court cases that have brought constitutional issues into focus round out a straightforward and valuable resource for fostering civic engagement. Ages 8–12.
