Description:

America had won the Revolution, but our troubles were far from over. The thirteen states were squabbling, the country could not pay its bills, and in Massachusetts farmers had taken up arms against the government. Was our country, which had fought so hard for its independence, going to survive? In May 1787 delegates from across the country -- including George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin -- gathered in Philadelphia and, meeting over the course of a sweltering summer, created a new framework for governing: the Constitution of the United States. Their efforts turned a shaky alliance of states into a nation that would prosper and grow powerful, drawing its strength for centuries to come from "We the people" and inspiring hope for freedom around the world.

5Spread love and understanding of our Country  Jan 30, 2010
I start out the 3rd grade school year teaching the Revolutionary War and the founding of our nation. That is my subject and I weave the curriculum standards around it. If the kids understand the Revolution then I am ready to teach all about the Constitution and governance by Constitution Day in October. This book along with Cheney's "When Washington Crossed the Delaware" are perfect! The artwork is beautiful and the historical background accurate. Make your life easy teachers!

5We the People book review  Dec 15, 2009
This book should be required reading in ALL elementary schools. Our kids MUST know & understand the greatness of our Founding Documents & what our nation stands for. Not the liberal garbage that's being taught today. Re-educate our kids with the Noble ideals that these documents espouse & maybe we can reverse this dangerous trend towards Socialism & Communism that seems to be the academic agenda these days.

5Just What I was Looking For  Nov 06, 2009
I was looking for a book to help teach my 9 year old grandaughter about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book explained why the Constitution was drafted and how difficult a process it was. The illustrations are beautiful.
