Los Artículos de la Confederación (The Articles of Confederation)

by Bray Jacobson

Overview

It can be confusing to learn that the U.S. Constitution wasn't the first document governing the United States. The Articles of Confederation was a problematic document, and the social studies curriculum commonly asks students to understand why and its effect on the Constitution. This volume summarizes the writing of the Articles as well as its problems for readers unfamiliar with the document or in need of reviewing it. Key definitions and explanations are offered in short fact boxes, ensuring that readers of all levels can understand the Articles of Confederation.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2019

Gr 3–6—Essential to any collection is a comprehensive series on American history that accurately represents a variety of perspectives, especially those of traditionally underrepresented groups and people of color. While this Spanish series briefly touches on topics like immigration, the Native American experience, and slavery, the content is still outweighed by the depiction of white colonists. The layout and graphic elements of this series, however, make it widely appealing, especially to striving readers, and could serve as a starting point for important conversations about history. VERDICT Graphics and layout make this series broadly appealing; subject matter is a starting point for early learners but not recommended for the middle grades.
