These books in the series Our Bill of Rights (7 titles) take an in-depth look at one or two amendments in the Bill of Rights. The books strike a balance between the historical context and general meaning of each amendment. American Freedoms does not limit itself to the specific First Amendment freedoms but also discusses rights and freedom more generally. The importance of the subjects is highlighted by the way the books are almost literally wrapped in the flag, with an American flag backdrop for each page of text. Each spread features its own title and an adequate stock photo or historical image. Many spreads also include either a "Know Your Rights!" or more general sidebar with additional facts or background information. These books are unlikely to spark deep interest in constitutional law, but they are useful resources for social-studies research.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution may be one of the most well-known and oft-quoted, and readers will learn why in this information-rich book. Through an in-depth yet age-appropriate examination of the First Amendment, readers will understand why the legal protection of such freedoms as religious expression, speech, and peaceful assembly is so important. Through a close look at the language of the amendment, readers will gain an understanding of the law's historical significance and how it affects our lives today. Primary sources, sidebars, and fact boxes bring key social studies concepts into detailed focus, which are based around C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards of the National Council for the Social Studies.
