This book, American history in your hands, lets you read the documents that helped form the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights (Amendment: 1-10), and Amendments (11-27) are all part of the book. The small book is not a recreation of the original documents, but it is a word-for-word reprint that is easy to read. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in history. The Continental Congress proudly signed it on July 4, 1776, and it said that the 13 North American Colonies were breaking away from Great Britain. This section will show you where this great country came from. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION: The Articles of Confederation is the original agreement between the 13 States that set up a central government that was not very strong. When the central government was first given power, it only had the powers that the 13 Colonies knew belonged to the British Parliament and King. THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA: The United States Constitution, which was signed on September 17, 1787, set the rules for how the government was to be set up. You'll be able to see for yourself how the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government are different from each other. This important national document is written in a clear font so that you can understand every word. THE BILLS OF RIGHTS: The first ten amendments to the Constitution are found in the United States Bill of Rights, which has its own chapter in the book. The United States government is based on these personal freedoms and rights. AMENDMENTS 11-27: Some of the most important rights in the country are protected by these important changes to the Constitution. The 13th Amendment ended slavery, the 14th Amendment gave everyone the right to become a citizen, and the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote (19th Amendment). You can read America's most important documents in this small Book. This book about the US Constitution is a great way for history buffs and patriots to learn something new or review what they already know.
