Majority rule is important in any well-functioning democracy. Students will be introduced to the concept using everyday examples that may also be applied to society more broadly. This book examines how majority rule can turn into the "tyranny of the majority" and why the minority should be protected. In addition, readers are shown that the majority decision is not always appropriate and that having a minority opinion is always important. After reading this book, students will understand the importance that majority rule holds in a democratic society while putting it in the proper context of respect for others' opinions, even if the majority disagrees.

      Gr 2-4-This seven-volume Spanish language series highlights essential principles of what it means to live in a democratic society. Topics include how to "disagree agreeably," the difference between equality and equity, how laws are written and passed, activism, and social justice. Diversity and inclusiveness are emphasized not only in words but also in pictures, as photographs portray a variety of intersectional identities. Thoughtful discussion questions follow each chapter or topic area, reinforcing critical thinking and reasoning skills. A noteworthy feature of this series is its in-depth discussion of how equality and equity play out in everyday situations and the consequences of systemic inequality throughout history. The books' style of Spanish will resonate with a wide audience, and the link to suggested reading will catalyze students to learn more about their favorite civics topics. VERDICT An essential addition to any social studies collection, this series touches on relevant current events and topics.
