Constitution Translated for Kids / La Constitución traducida para niños (Bilingual Edition)

For Grade 5-10. A sentence-by-sentence, article-by-article interpretation of the Constitution. The first half of the book is arranged to show the original wording of the document in one column, with a translation in simple language on the right. For example, part of Article I Section 9 explaining the Writ of Habeas Corpus, is explained, People who are arrested and put in jail have the right to make the government tell them why they were put in jail. Articles that were later amended or repealed are noted as such. The second half of the book describes how the Constitution has evolved, defines the branches of government, gives details about each amendment, and includes a glossary. This edition updates information about proposed amendments. Boxed fast facts and pen-and-ink drawings and spot art break up the text. - School Library Journal
