$3.46 | | Make | The Constitution | | Model | | | Manufactuer ID | | | Constitutional law expert Paul Finkelman offers readers a carefully researched and highly readable look at the document that is the blueprint of American democracy. He begins by showing how ineffective the Confederation government was in dealing with the problems facing the newly independent republic: no uniform laws among states, no courts to settle arguments, no power to collect taxes. Then the reader sits in on the Constitutional Convention, where arguments about how to balance power between large and small states and how to count slaves as part of the population are among the key issues. They will learn about the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, the Connecticut Plan, and the Three-fifths Compromise, and meet some of the Federalists and Anti-Federalists who passionately argued the Constitution's pros and cons until it was finally ratified and became the law of the land. Includes the complete text of The Constitution. |

$3.46 | | Make | The Citizen's Constitution | | Model | An Annotated Guide | | Manufactuer ID | | | Pocket versions of the Constitution of the United States of America abound, as do multi-volume commentaries, academic histories, and tendentious parsings of various clauses and interpretations. But what if you want both a quick reference and a good read, one that places the document and its clauses into concise context? You're out of luck--until now. Seth Lipsky, founding editor of "The New York Sun," who has been described in the Boston Globe "a legendary figure in contemporary journalism," has been writing about the Constitution for years. He has put together this guide that cites history and the Founders, case law and current events in more than 300 illuminating annotations. His "Citizen's Constitution" serves as a no-nonsense, entertaining, and learned guide to the fundamental questions surrounding the document that governs how we govern our country. |
