Synopsis

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution may be one of the most well-known and oft-quoted, and readers will learn why in this information-rich book. Through an in-depth yet age-appropriate examination of the First Amendment, readers will understand why the legal protection of such freedoms as religious expression, speech, and peaceful assembly is so important. Through a close look at the language of the amendment, readers will gain an understanding of the law's historical significance and how it affects our lives today. Primary sources, sidebars, and fact boxes bring key social studies concepts into detailed focus, which are based around C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards of the National Council for the Social Studies.
