Constitution and Bill of Rights Set - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Perfect for history and U.S. government students, this two-volume set explores the fundamentals of our founding document. Our Constitution provides an in-depth look at the entire text of the U.S. Constitution, annotated with detailed explanations of its terms and contents. Each Amendment and Article is accompanied by sidebar material on the history of its application, including profiles of important Supreme Court cases, texts of related primary source documents, and contemporary news articles. The accompaniment volume to Our Constitution, Our Rights explores twenty-three major rights of U.S. citizens guaranteed by the Constitution. Each chapter traces how a particular right--freedom of speech, the right to trial by jury, the right to bear arms, or the right to privacy, for example--has evolved as a result of legislation, social changes, and landmark Supreme Court cases.
