Documents of American Constitutional And Legal History, Vol. 2

Documents of American Constitutional And Legal History, Vol. 2 From 1896 To the Present

Documents of American Constitutional and Legal History, 3rd Edition, is a two-volume companion to Urofsky and Finkelman's successful text, "A March of Liberty." Organized chronologically, this document skillfully weaves together constitutional and legal history, offering students a mix of both frequently cited and lesser-known - but equally important - historical documents and court decisions that have been instrumental in shaping the nation's constitutional development. The editors provide an introduction to each document, which summarizes its significance and places it within its historical context. Each introduction is followed by a brief list of suggestions for further reading. Both volumes contain the complete text of the U.S. Constitution for ease of reference. The 3rd edition has been updated to include both newly significant documents from the 17th to 19th centuries and many recent legal documents of consequence, from the latest Supreme Court decisions to the Guantanamo Bay terror detainee controversy. In addition, the introductions have been revised and the suggested reading sections have been updated to reflect current scholarship. For the first time, this edition also includes the voting records for each case and an appendix of the U.S. Supreme court judges and their tenures. This is Volume II of this 3rd edition.
