Description

After discussing the historical and intellectual context of the Constitution, this book examines the Philadelphia convention, with separate chapters on federal power, Congress, the president, and the courts. The focus then switches to the ratification debates and the passage of the Bill of Rights, followed by coverage of each of the Reconstruction Amendments. This is a unique text for those who consider the original understanding of the Constitution important.
