Simply Outstanding! Excellent for Reports and Learning

I was extremely impressed with this book is so many ways. First, it thoroughly explains the Bill of Rights in a way that is very easy to understand. The reading level is that of a mainstream magazine, such as Time, so anyone can understand this book. Yet it is thorough. I learned so much about the Bill of Rights by reading it. The book teaches you by using original sources, such as the writings and Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the actual Supreme Court opinions of important decisions, newspaper clippings, cartoons, and pictures. Some of the writings are moving at times. This is history and learning at its best. Highly recommended for learning about the Bill of Rights, understanding the Constitution, and school reports.
