Author:
Fourteen-year-old Juliette Turner is the National Youth Director for Constituting America, author, activist, and student.

HSLDA Staff Thoughts:

"I very much enjoyed this introduction to the U.S. Constitution. Juliette Turner does a terrific job of going through our founding document, taking each section and showing what it means, why it's in there, and how it's been used through the years. Her focus is on why the Constitution is important for teens today, and she succeeded in keeping my interest throughout. Each Article and Amendment is clearly explained, including controversies over what they mean, and lots of interesting facts and tidbits of trivia are thrown in. This book is an excellent introduction to our Constitution, and I would recommend it highly."-- Darren Jones, HSLDA Staff Attorney
