Recenzje

Steinbach '81, Marcus, and Cohen urge students and teachers to wrestle with the constitutional questions that animate U.S. history. The volume's eight chapters examine the Constitution's "use and misuse" at watershed moments, interweaving analysis by historians with primary sources. Rather than adopting any one view, With Liberty and Justice for All? shows the Constitution to be contested.
