Book Guide

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest and most significant written document of our history. It has come to symbolize freedom, justice, equality, and hope for Americans citizens as individuals and as a collective, democratic nation. For two hundred years the Constitution has provided its people with rights, liberty, and a free society that people of other nations can only dream of. We The People is Peter Spier's heartfelt tribute to the Constitution. It is an artistic celebration of the entire document, including the Bill of Rights and all the amendments. Complete with carefully researched historical information, this visual extravaganza remembers the roots of our freedom and the changes that have taken place as a result of the Constitution. Peter Spier captures America's diversity as no one else can, with rich and vivid detail, as he illustrated how our country has grown from its beginnings and thus matured as a nation.
