The words that made us: America's constitutional conversation, 1760-1840
(Book)
"Constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar tells the story of America's constitutional conversation during its first eighty years--from the Constitution's birth in 1760 through the 1830s, when the last of America's early leaders died. Amar traces the threadsof Constitutional discourse, uniting history and law in a narrative that seeks both to reveal this history anew and to make clear who was right and who was wrong on the biggest legal issues confronting early America. Amar provides an essential history ofthe Constitution's formative decades and an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to understand America's Constitution and its relevance today"--
