I stumbled across this book while transferring my book collection from Visual Bookshelf to Goodreads. Intrigued, I ILL’d it.
This graphic novel starts out slow, with the first part being a little too hagiographic and a little too, isn’t the US great! But once the work settles into the meat of the constitution, the pace picks up and gets much better. This is not a clause by clause graphic explanation of the constitution, but rather a look at prominent sections, clauses and/or amendments and a smidgen of the history that lead up to them.
This would be a good book for those taking a U.S. civic course who are looking for a more visual way to explore the constitution. Or for sending to your local political nutbar who claims to know the Constitution, but continually misquotes it. The book comes with a suggested reading list for those who want to explore more.
