Paperback. Condición: Good. This "authoritative [and] important" (The New York Times Book Review) "biography" of America's framing document explores topics ranging from presidential power and freedom of speech to birthright citizenship and beyond, explaining not only what the Constitution says but also why the Constitution says it. "Elegantly written, thorough but concise, and consistently enlightening . . . an indispensable reference."--Scott Turow, The Washington Post Book World (Best Books of the Year) WINNER OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION'S SILVER GAVEL AWARD In America's Constitution, eminent constitutional-law scholar Akhil Reed Amar gives the first comprehensive account of one of the world's great political texts. Skillfully placing the document in the context of late-eighteenth-century American politics, Amar reveals how a document that was in large part drafted by slaveholding landed gentry could later be instrumental in the emancipation of slaves, the enfranchisement of women, and many other modern expansions of liberty and equality. Amar celebrates the Constitution's remarkable durability, noting how debate over its central role in American government remains vital and dynamic more than two centuries after it was written. Ambitious, evenhanded, accessible, and often surprising, America's Constitution is an invaluable work, bound to become a standard reference for any student of history and all citizens of the United States.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A valuable reference to understanding your freedoms. An authoritative guide to American freedoms. Uncluttered and well-organized, this text is perfect for those who want to study up on the Bill of Rights without needing a law degree to do so.In this pocket-sized volume, Akhil Reed Amar and Les Adams offer Americans a wealth of knowledge about the Bill of Rights that goes beyond a basic understanding. This elementary guidebook presents a short historical survey of the people, events, decrees, legislation, writings, and cultural milestones, in England and the American colonies, that influenced the Founding Fathers as they drafted the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.Important points are summarized in short notes at the side of the text.To present an uncluttered page that?s easy to read, all reference and quotation sources are placed in a separate section of notes at the end of the book.Throughout the book, we have tried to provide synonyms for most of the fancy words that lawyers and scholars sometimes use and for obsolete words or words that no longer mean what their writers intended. However, since the Bill of Rights, is, after all, a legal and historical document, to discuss it adequately we simply cannot avoid the use of some legal or scholarly words and expressions for which there are no adequate synonyms. Therefore, we have provided a short glossary on page 389.
