Summary
"Back in the late 1700s, some of the states only ratified the new U.S. Constitution with the provision that lawmakers add a Bill of Rights. In this book, readers will discover how the Third and Fourth Amendments earned inclusion in the Bill of Rights. Complicated political language is simplified, helping readers recognize the amendments at work in modern life. Both amendments reflect the fundamental American values of privacy and personal property. They protect homes, belongings, and even phone conversations." -- Provided by publisher
