Marcus is stumped by a summer assignment: to write an essay on what it means to be a citizen。 He’s surprised to hear from people in his community that constitutions play an important role when it comes to citizenship—they can even affect whether you feel like you belong in your country or not。 From a Kosovo Albanian neighbor to a Rwandan exchange student， and even in his own family history， Marcus discovers stories of how constitutions—including the U。S。 Constitution—shape the political landscape and our daily lives。

From Beka Feathers， an expert in post-conflict institution building， and Kasia Babis， an accomplished political cartoonist， comes a graphic novel that gives context to the modern issues that arise from constitutions。 With historical examples from all over the world， Re: Constitutions examines how this essential document defines a nation’s identity and the rights of its citizens。
