The Constitution giá ưu đãi

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.

Paul Finkelman is the Chapman Distinguished Professor at the University of Tulsa College of Law. He has been a fellow at Harvard Law School and has written more than 20 books on constitutional law in American history. He lives in Tulsa, OK.

“This series covers some of the most important documents in American history, providing photos of the documents along with historical photographs and images and full text for each document. The Constitution covers what the pre-constitution government looked like, some of the events that led to the need for a constitution, the Constitutional Convention, and the ratification process along with some of the amendments. Also discussed are the parts of the Constitution and a usefully simple explanation of the often-confusing Electoral College. The text is very simple, and all the topics are touched upon quite briefly. With the integrated illustrations, easy text, and short format, these works, which also include books on the Emancipation Proclamation, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, serve best as a starting point, or a quick way to find the full text of these documents.”
