Do you know how the U.S. Constitution works to protect you, your friends, and your family? It gives you and every American citizen many rights including the right to vote, as well as to enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to worship -- or not worship -- according to your beliefs, to disagree openly with government policy, and to defend yourself in courts of law. You'll learn about our rights as a citizen...and also learn which rights are reserved for the state and the community where you live. New to this edition is the addition of new, more complex words that will raise the reading level and an updated emphasis on the distinction between federal and state judges and courts. (Ages 8-10)
