The Bill of Rights
It upholds freedom of speech and religion, guaran- tees a free press, grants the right to keep and bear arms, preserves the right of trial by jury, establishes states’ rights, and more. It’s the Bill of Rights. This program presents the ten key constitutional amend- ments that have defined the fundamental liberties that are the American birthright—and examines the controversies and challenges they have withstood. $99.95 QGR36176 • DVD / VOD
Human Rights This program sets two crucial human rights-related constitutional amendments within the context of their historical times: Amendment 13, abolishing slavery throughout the U.S., and Amendment 14, defining U.S. citizenship and stipulating due process and equal protection under the law. Four additional amendments—11, judicial powers construed; 16, federal income tax; and 18 and 21, Prohibition and its repeal—are included as well. $99.95 QGR36177 • DVD / VOD
Democracy in Action The ability to vote—to have a legal say in the affairs of America, large or small—is one of the greatest powers a U.S. citizen can have…and, too often, it’s one of the most neglected. This program reempha- sizes the value of universal suffrage through the stories of Amendments 15, 19, 23, 24, and 26, which, taken together, enfranchise citizens 18 years of age and older and forbid denying the vote on the basis of race, sex, locale, or tax arrears. Profiles of Amendments 12, 22, and 25 (the Presidential Amendments) and Amendments 17, 20, and 27 offer additional insights into how the principles of democracy are put to work. $99.95 QGR36178 • DVD / VOD
