(back cover) Syl Sobel transforms America's history into an exciting adventure When the U.S. Constitution was first written, many of the freedoms we now take for granted were not yet guaranteed. Nowhere did the Constitution say anything about freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, to name just a few of them.

That was when the people added ten new amendments to the Constitution, clearly guaranteeing many basic rights to all citizens. Those first ten amendments are called The Bill of Rights. Author Syl Sobel describes each of these rights, and in the process he points out many fascinating facts that are a part of America's history.
