![]() ![]() ![]() The reviews I have seen for this book have been mostly positive. He has worked on other nonfiction graphic novels including Forward 54th!. Hennessey is a veteran in film and television production, and McConnell is a member of Periscope Studio. Writer Jonathan Hennessey and artist Aaron McConnell collaborated to make a lively narrative that is chock full of facts and never boring. Most impressively, they cover a wide swath of government and history while providing several sides to contentious topics. Additionally, they explicate each amendment and provide concrete examples and scenarios as well. They highlight key figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, and James Madison as well as shed light on pivotal incidents such as Shay's Rebellion, the Missouri Compromise, and the Civil War. A wonderful tour through the British colonial period of the Thirteen Colonies foregrounds the path the US would take in founding its government until the present day, and the book's creators obviously have a love for depicting and explaining diverse periods of American history. ![]() This graphic novel does three things extremely well: It explains the various parts of the US Constitution, places it in historical context, and also discusses ongoing contemporary controversies and issues. ![]()
