Description
In order to coexist peacefully in society, humans must abide by certain norms, laws, and practices. But if we have different, conflicting ideas of who we are, what's acceptable, and what rights we deserve, how do we agree on anything? By drafting a constitution; a document that lays out "the rules of the game."
From Beka Feathers, a legal adviser on post-conflict institution building, and Kasia Babis, an accomplished political cartoonist, comes a timely graphic novel that examines what it means to have a national identity, rights, and protections. With historical examples from all over the world, the reader is shown how a constitution shapes our political landscape and modern world.
