Synopsis:

Marcus is stumped by a summer assignment: to write an essay on what it means to be a citizen. He\x27s surprised to hear from people in his community that constitutions play an important role when it comes to citizenship\-\-they can even affect whether you feel like you belong in your country or not. From a Kosovo Albanian neighbor to a Rwandan exchange student, and even in his own family history, Marcus discovers stories of how constitutions\-\-including the U.S. Constitution\-\-shape the political landscape and our daily lives. From Beka Feathers, an expert in post\-conflict institution building, and Kasia Babis, an accomplished political cartoonist, comes a graphic novel that gives context to the modern issues that arise from constitutions. With historical examples from all over the world, Re: Constitutions<\/i> examines how this essential document defines a nation\x27s identity and the rights of its citizens.<\/p>
