With Constitutional Amendments: Beyond the Bill of Rights, Greenhaven Press covers the history and current
understanding of the amendments. Each volume begins with the amendment text (accompanied by a student-friendly
translation). Chapters put the amendment in historical context, examine how it has been tested in the courts, and
present current controversies and debates. Reflecting provisions in both the national and state curriculum standards,
these volumes provide primary and secondary sources that examine the roots of Constitutional democracy as well as
how the interpretation of the Constitution has evolved throughout American history.
The series also explores the meaning of citizenship as well as its rights
and responsibilities.
Key features of each volume:
• Chronology
• Brief text sidebars
• Photos, charts, maps, and graphs
• List of relevant Supreme Court cases
• List of amendments to the US Constitution
