Críticas:

A highly rewarding and lively volume that adds depth and insight to our understanding of constitutionalism. Far-ranging in scope, these essays probe vital issues, challenge conventional wisdom, and suggest fresh approaches to shaping the future of constitutional history. JAMES W. ELY, JR., AUTHOR OF RAILROADS AND AMERICAN LAW ""Providing a new burst of vitality in the field of constitutional history, these essays are well-written, enlightening, sometimes startling, and always enormously interesting."" LAWRENCE M. FRIEDMAN, AUTHOR OF A HISTORY OF AMERICAN LAW ALL ROYALTIES FROM THE SALE OF THIS BOOK ARE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PAUL L. MURPHY PRIZE FUND SPONSORED BY THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR LEGAL HISTORY.

Reseña del editor:

Taking their cue from the late Paul L. Murphy, one of our nation's leading legal historians, this illustrious group of scholars argues that the field of constitutional history is "too important to be left solely to lawyers and judges." Their "state-of-the-field" volume reclaims constitutional history's rightful place as a vital and necessary part of our intellectual enterprise, in part by pushing the field onto fresh, even controversial, terrain. The result is a provocative new look at the past, present, and future of American constitutionalism, one that opens a window on the larger American soul.
