These titles in the Spotlight on Civic Action series cover important topics not often addressed in informational books about civics. Accompanied by photos of political figures, children and adults from diverse backgrounds, and historical documents and reproductions, the short chapters focus on specific issues related to the broader topic. Majority Rule vs. Individual Rightsdefines majority rule and identifies the dangers of oppressing the minority, gerrymandering, and limiting individual rights. It uses the Scopes trial and Roe v. Wade to examine the latter. Complimentary in content, the volumes conclude by asking readers to consider their role in these topics. Terrific building blocks for children to become educated, civics-minded citizens.

The U.S. government is commonly characterized as being comprised of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. These two parties have differing views of how the government should be run, therefore creating a divide in legislative processes. Majority rule refers to a democracy being governed by decisions upon which a greater portion of people has agreed. However, U.S. citizens have basic and inalienable rights that can't be violated by the government. This book explores these basic and inalienable rights in relation to majority rule, and provides insight to how these concepts are laid out in the U.S. Constitution.
