ISBN: 9780062896308 - how to read the constitution--and why: a legal expert's plain-language guide to america's founding document, its eroding protections, and your rights (legal expert series, 1) (70 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "A must-read for this era."--Jake Tapper, CNN Anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent  An insightful, urgent, and perennially relevant handbook that lays out in common sense language how the United States Constitution works, and how its protections are eroding before our eyes--essential reading for anyone who wants to understand and parse the constantly breaking news about the backbone of American government. The Constitution is the most significant document in America. But do you fully understand what this valuable document means to you? In How to Read the Constitution--and Why, legal expert and educator Kimberly Wehle spells out in clear, simple, and common sense terms what is in the Constitution, and most importantly, what it means for American democracy. In compelling terms and including text from the United States Constitution, she describes how the Constitution's protections are eroding--not only in express terms but by virtue of the many legal and social norms that no longer shore up its legitimacy--and why every American needs to heed to this "red flag" moment in our democracy. This invaluable--and timely--resource includes the Constitution in its entirety and covers nearly every significant aspect of the text,  from the powers of the President and how the three branches of government are designed to hold each other accountable, to what it means to have individual rights protected by the Bill of Rights--including free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to an abortion. Finally, the book explains why it has never been more important than now for all Americans to know how our Constitution works--and why, if we don't step in to protect it now, we could lose its protections forever. How to Read the Constitution--and Why is essential reading for anyone who cares about maintaining an accountable government and the individual freedoms that the Constitution enshrines for everyone in America--regardless of political party. How does this foundational document really work, and what are the stakes for you today? Separation of Powers: A common-sense breakdown of the roles of Congress, the President, and the Courts, explaining how they are designed to hold each other accountable--and where that system is failing. The Bill of Rights: Understand your most essential individual freedoms, from the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech to the Second Amendment's right to bear arms and the Fourth's protection from unreasonable searches. A Citizen's Handbook: Move beyond the talking points with a clear explanation of how our government actually works, why legal norms matter, and what it means to face a "red flag" moment in our democracy. Full Text Included: Engage directly with the primary source. This guide includes the complete United States Constitution, making it an invaluable and enduring reference for every citizen.…
