Constitutional Amendments: Beyond the Bill of Rights

Published by Greenhaven Press
Grade 10-12
A well-rounded social studies education is grounded in an understanding of how the U.S. Constitution – the blueprint for a democratic society – works. Building on the popularity of The Bill of Rights series, Greenhaven Press extends the coverage of amendments with its new series, Constitutional Amendments: Beyond the Bill of Rights. Each volume begins with the amendment text (accompanied by a student-friendly translation). Chapters put the amendment in historical context, examine how it has been tested in the courts and presents current controversies and debates.

Reflecting provisions in both the national and state curriculum standards, these volumes provide primary and secondary sources that examine the roots of constitutional democracy as well as how the interpretation of the Constitution has evolved throughout American history. The series also explores the meaning of citizenship as well as its rights and responsibilities. Each book features an annotated table of contents, black and white illustrations, an annotated list of relevant Supreme Court cases, a chronology, a bibliography for further research and a subject index.
