The Rosen Verified: The Bill of Rights series (7 titles) introduces basic freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and explains the historical reasons why the Founders considered each principle sufficiently important to make it part of the American Constitution through its inclusion in the amending document. The authors take somewhat different approaches, depending on the topics discussed, but they write clearly and concisely, using pertinent examples to show how federal courts have interpreted an amendment or a particular clause. The book design is visually attractive, ensuring each two-page spread features at least one illustration arly all of which are clearly reproduced, color photographs that are relevant to the topics discussed. Free Speech discusses freedom of the press as well as people's rights to practice their religion, express themselves, assemble peaceably, and petition the government. An attractive series discussing a bedrock American document for students today.
