Languages of Power: A Source Book of Early American Constitutional History - Tapa dura

By offering a broad and diverse set of sources and placing them in their intellectual and political contexts, Powell gives a sense of the richness and complexity of early constitutional discussion. The sources, which include opinions, congressional debates, letters, pamphlets, scholarly writings, and state legislative materials, are prefaced by introductions providing historical context and are followed by commentary analyzing their significance for the development of constitutional thought.
