Items related to What Are States Rights? (U.S. Government Q&A!)
Synopsis
The Ninth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights notes that people have more rights than those listed in the document. And, according to the Tenth Amendment, the federal government has only those powers expressly stated in the Constitution. All other powers are given to the states and the people. This title explores the concept of individual rights and states' rights, defining the terms and examining the ways that these ideas have clashed throughout our nation's history. Essential concepts in the U.S. government and history curriculum are presented in easy-to-digest chunks, with a focus on engaging struggling readers. Primary sources, graphic organizers, and charts support the text and add to the overall reading experience.

Reviews
Gr 2-5-Each volume in this series on American government answers and explains the questions in the respective titles. How Are Laws Made? explains the steps taken in Congress to pass laws, the steps territories must execute to achieve statehood are outlined in How Are New States Added?, brief descriptions of the three branches of government are covered in What Are Checks and Balances?, in What are States' Rights? readers learn about federalism and how the tenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees states' power, and Why Does Congress Have Two Houses? provides an explanation for the "The Great Compromise" made when the Constitution was being created. All titles provide suitable, if not exciting, introductions to the various facets of the United States government. Maps, pictures, and photographs are included but they serve more to break up the text than enhance it. What Is the Electoral College? will be considered dated as it contains electoral college allocations to each state based on the 2010 census. VERDICT Report writers will find the information valuable and all volumes, excepting What Is the Electoral College?, should be considered for purchase where there is a demand.α(c) Copyright 2011.
