After 116 days of heated debates and bitter arguments, the United States Constitution was created. Written in 1787, this imperfect document set forth America's guiding principles, but it also introduced some of today's most contentious political issues, from gerrymandering to the electoral college to presidential impeachment. With colorful art, compelling discourse, and true stories from America's past and present, Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Graphic Novel sheds light on how today's political struggles have their origins in the decisions of our Founding Fathers. Children's book author Cynthia Levinson, constitutional-law scholar Sanford Levinson, and artist Ally Shewd deftly illustrate the contemporary problems that arose from this founding document--and offer possible solutions.
