Learn about the importance of the United States Constitution and how it came to be in this introduction for young readers.

After the United States won its independence, the nation's new leaders came together to create a governing document for their new country. The framers of the constitution met at the Constitutional Convention where they debated, argued, and wrote the United States Constitution. This book discusses the meaning and purpose of a constitution, why the United States needed one, and the constant and changing points of the original document.
