Book Description

May 1, 1995

A companion to the widely acclaimed The Constitution of 1787, this new book by eminent constitutional scholar George Anastaplo examines the nature and effects of the twenty-seven amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

For Anastaplo, these amendments implement the equality, liberty, and rule of law principles that are fundamental to the American system of government. His appendixes of critical documents and his reflections on the Bill of Rights and on the Emancipation Proclamation set this volume apart from other treatises on the amendments to the Constitution.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Provocative, engaging, and not an inappropriate introduction to George Anastaplo. Discourse on the 'right of revolution,' it turns out, was precisely what got him into trouble with the Illinois bar 45 years ago. He remains important as much for what he has written since as for what he did then.

(Law and Politics Book Review )

This companion to Anastaplo's The Constitution of 1787... argues that the constitutional amendments implement the equality, liberty, and rule of law principles fundamental to the American system of government.

(Law and Social Inquiry )

Review

Those desiring to engage in the enterprise of ' thinking about the Constitution' in the company of a resourceful and knowledgeable guide will find this book quite interesting and enjoyable.

(Judge Edward Dumbauld Journal of American Histor )

A marvelous instrument for introducing citizens to their Constitution.

(Mortimer J. Adler )

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Amendments to the Constitution: A Commentary (Paperback)
Very interesting reading as well as informative. This is the stuff that your "American History" class ( if that is still taught) does not discuss, unfortunately.
