The First American Constitutions

Viac o knihe

This comprehensive study is essential for understanding early American constitutional development, having been a key reference for two decades. It includes two new chapters that explore the precedents set by state constitutions for the U.S. Constitution and critically examine the 'republicanism over liberalism' thesis in relation to the political ideas and structures of the first state constitutions. This work is crucial for anyone studying the foundations of the independent United States.
