| Publisher Description: To many Americans the Constitution is a much revered but rather boring document. This book presents an anecdotal approach to the study of the U.S. Constitution and defines itself as an introductory or 'refresher' course in basic constitutional history and interpretation, particularly for high school and lower-level college courses. The author foregrounds throughout what he calls the 'unpopular situations' prior to and during the revolutionary war which resulted in constitutional provisions guaranteeing their nonrecurrence. |
