    “Book Descriptions: Don Brown explores the history of democracy in the United States in this installment of the Big Ideas That Changed the World series

    The Greek word democracy comes from demos (people) and kratos (rule)—meaning “the people hold power.” In this graphic novel, author-illustrator Don Brown explores the history of democracy—from civilization’s beginnings as hunter-gatherers to the birth of monarchies and vast empires, and from the earliest republics to our present-day government.

    Narrated by Abigail Adams, We the People! explores how Athenian and Greek assemblies inspired our legislative and judiciary branches; how Enlightenment ideals of reason, toleration, and human progress shaped our founding fathers’ thinking; how Mali’s Manden Charter and England’s Magna Carta influenced our Bill of Rights; and how the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy directly shaped the US Constitution.”
