Inhaltsangabe

The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution were written to safeguard individual liberties and limit government power.

Throughout the course of U.S. history, amendments have been subject to various interpretations, often to the point of contention. In this informative anthology, readers will be exposed to the complex issues of interpreting a document that was created more than two hundred years ago.
