Synopsis

The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution were written to prevent the federal government from passing laws that violate basic human rights. Originally regarded by most as an unnecessary safeguard, they have been a great influence on American law and politics over the past two centuries. This anthology will include primary source material on the Bill of Rights and the important role it has played in American history.

Review

"Tom Head?s reference ?Bill of Rights? is simply a ?not to be missed? reference for any middle to high school library collection: part of the ?Interpreting Primary Documents? series, it is a virtual anthology of primary sources on the Bill of Rights, juxtaposing source documents with interpretations and discussions."
--Children's Bookwatch (July 2004) (Children's Bookwatch 20040701)
