Críticas

"Lucidly written and magisterial in scope, this book will be the standard work for many years to come. I strongly recommend it."--Melvin I. Urofsky, author of A March of Liberty: A Constitutional History of the United States "A lively challenge to traditional views that anyone interested in the U.S. Constitution will want to read and reflect upon."--William Leuchtenburg, author of The Supreme Court Reborn
