DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Short Constitutional History of the United States The basis of this book is the material consulted in the preparation of the author's larger works, - "A Constitutional History of the American People, 1776- 1850," and "The Constitutional History of the United States, 1765-1895," - the former a narrative of the civil development of the states; the latter, of the federal union. The present volume narrates the constitutional history both of the Union and of the states, showing the common basis of American local and general government. In a book of small compass, adapted to those who desire the essentials of our civil development, it has seemed sufficient if there were related, (1) the origin of our civil system; (2) the principles on which it is founded; (3) the adaptation of the plan of government to public needs, by amendment and construction; and, (4) the interpretation of the principles of the government by the supreme tribunal, - the courts. The chapters on the state constitutions treat of a subject too much neglected. A study of the subject quickly reveals its importance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis, the concise edition of Liberty and Union, is an abridged constitutional history of the United States, designed for short single-semester courses, comprising the key topics from Volumes 1 and 2. Written in a clear and engaging narrative style, it successfully unites thorough chronological coverage with a thematic approach, offering critical analysis of core constitutional history topics, set in the political, social, and economic context that made them constitutional issues in the first place. Combining a thoughtful and balanced narrative with an authoritative stance on key issues, the authors deliberately explain the past in the light of the past, without imposing upon it the standards of later generations. Authored by two experienced professors in the field, this concise edition presents seminal topics while retaining the narrative flow of the two full original volumes. An accessible alternative to dense scholarly works, this textbook avoids unnecessary technical jargon, defines legal terms and historical personalities where appropriate, and makes explicit connections between constitutional themes and historical events. For students in a short undergraduate or postgraduate constitutional history course, or anyone with a general interest in constitutional developments, this book will be essential reading. Useful features include: Full glossary of legal terminology Recommended reading A table of cases Extracts from primary documents Companion website Useful documents provided: Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation Constitution of the United States of America Chronological list of Supreme Court justices
