Blurb:

Who wrote the U.S. Constitution? How long did it take to write? What is the Bill of Rights? The Constitution forms the basis for our government's organization—and our liberties. Children will also learn how the three branches of government operate, how amendments are enacted, and how the Constitution has changed.

My Review:

I learned so much for this book.

Did you know that our constitution is the shortest of all that were written?  And did you know that there is no set number of justices for the supreme court written in the constitution so it has changed over time? And did you know the US existed before the constitution was written?  All things I did not know.

It was written for young kids but I hate reading the ‘grown’ books on legislation because they always throw in big words, as if knowing the three branches of government weren’t confusing enough! So I get most of my books for the kids section on government and other things cause its easier for me.  Simple yet concise writing on our government’s branches as well as some history as to how the branches came about being decided upon.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.
