I have always maintained the belief that adults should read juvenile non-fiction to quickly get informed on a variety of issues. The information is well-researched, and condensed to a shorter passage that can be consumed quickly for those who are short on time. This book is a perfect example of a juvenile book that all adults should read. We've all learned about the Bill of Rights in school, but when the author breaks them down and explains her strategy of using real-life law cases to illustrate these laws, it really helps bring them to life. I appreciated the refresher, and found myself learning over and over again how state's rights differ from federal rights, and how various law scholars feel about this paradigm.

In today's divided political culture, it helps to read about our foundational amendments to the Constitution and to look at a different perspective. Told in a factual narrative with interesting cases and various illutrations, this would be a fantastic reference for social studies teachers, and readers who might be interested in law or politics.

I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries.
