Bøker i Legal Expert-serien

Now more than ever, you need to understand what the US Constitution is and why we need to protect it so that it continues to protect us.  In How to Read the Constitution–and Why, legal expert and educator Kim Wehle spells out in clear, simple, commonsense terms what is in the Constitution, and most important, what it means. In everyday language, she describes how the Constitution’s protections are eroding and why every American needs to heed this “red flag” moment in our democracy.This invaluable – and timely – resource covers nearly every significant aspect of the Constitution, from the powers of the president and how the three branches of government are designed to hold one another accountable to what it means to have individual rights – including free speech, bear arms, free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and an abortion. Finally, the book explains why it has never been more important for all Americans to know how our Constitution works – and to understand why, if we don’t step in to protect it now, we could effectively lose it forever.
