Spier's pictorial introduction to the Constitution has been redesigned and updated. Spier illustrates each of the ten clauses in the preamble--e.g., "establish Justice" and "provide for the common defense"--over one or two double-page spreads. Small scenes of colonial life face corresponding vignettes of contemporary life, giving readers points of comparison. A history of the Constitution and its complete text are appended.
