What Is a Constitutional Amendment?
U.S. Government Q & A!
The U.S. Constitution provides the framework for how our government functions. In this educational and engaging book, readers will explore how constitutional amendments work. They'll come to understand how and why amendments are proposed, the process of an amendment's adoption and ratification, and the roles of the Senate and House of Representatives within that process. Incorporating both history and current events, the book invites readers to reflect on how constitutional amendments impact their own lives. It also encourages critical thinking skills by including a writing prompt. Full-color photographs bring the text to life and quotes from key historical figures and present-day politicians add interest to the curricular material.
