Book excerpt: This instructor's guide assists secondary social studies educators in making effective use of the five-part video series, "That Delicate Balance II: Our Bill of Rights." In the tradition of "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance," the series introduces students to the Bill of Rights and the controversies that have arisen over these rights. Led by moderators using the Socratic method of inquiry, the series features panels of experts engaging in lively debate about the constitutional, ethical, and social issues arising from a number of hypothetical scenarios. The programs enrich secondary civics, government, and history courses that examine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, civil liberties, or contemporary issues. The instructor's guide opens with a summary of the topics of the five units in the series. The unit topics are Roe v. Wade; the First Amendment and hate speech; a rape trial; equality and the individual; and criminal justice, from murder to execution. A section on each unit provides teachers with an overview of the issue presented, background materials that teachers may copy and distribute to their class, and discussion questions based on these materials that students can debate prior to viewing the video. Each section likewise presents discussion questions for the class to debate following the video as well as suggestions for further research, reports, and essays. At the back of the guide, teachers are provided with a convenient list of teaching resources related to the Bill of Rights. (JD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Constitution's provisions for selecting, replacing, and punishing presidents contain serious weaknesses that could lead to constitutional controversies. In this compelling and fascinating book, Brian Kalt envisions six such controversies, such as the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, a two-term president's attempt to stay in power, the ousting of an allegedly disabled president, and more. None of these things has ever occurred, but in recent years many of them almost have. Besides being individually dramatic, these controversies provide an opportunity to think about how constitutional procedures can best be designed, interpreted, and repaired. Also, because the events Kalt describes would all carry enormous political consequences, they shed light on the delicate and complicated balance between law and politics in American government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although we are constantly bombarded with arguments over constitutional issues in the media, surveys show the majority of Americans have not read and understood our Constitution even though it is just 25 pages long. The reason? The language is over 200 years old with unusual words and legal terms. This book is an easy-to-read, spin-free guide to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, additional amendments, and the Declaration of Independence. It provides both the essential historical context and important definitions of the language used at the time. One can read straight through these original texts and gain confidence in understanding the agreements which guarantee our freedoms. This book will help answer these questions: Are our rights being protected or eroded? What is the true purpose of government and what are its duties? Why was the Bill of Rights written? Individuals should read this book to protect their rights and liberty and insist their elected officials read and understand the U.S. Constitution.
