Monumental Journeys: A Concise Historical Guide to U.S. Constitutional Rights

The founders of our country decided to have a written constitution to ensure that both the government and all of our government officials are under the law. Our constitutional ideal is that no one is above the law, whether that entity or person be the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, or the President of the United States. Americans will not be governed by arbitrary kings, czars, justices, agency boards, or Presidents. From the fall of the ancient Roman Empire to the founding of the United States, this book highlights the monumental journeys of brave souls struggling for civil and religious freedom against various forms of tyranny. In a concise question and answer format, this historical guide showcases how our U.S. Constitutional rights were forged over several centuries in the furnace of various political and religious conflicts, especially in Great Britain. The brevity of this book allows the reader to grasp the overall development of U.S. Constitutional rights without getting lost or sidetracked with too much information. As such, this book can function as an onramp to other winding historical roads with expansive vistas for the mind to ponder.
