Description
Liberty and Union
This the second of two volumes of Liberty and Union is a comprehensive constitutional history of the United States from the Progressive Era of the early twentieth century to the most recent decisions of the Supreme Court on contemporary constitutional issues.
Written in a clear and engaging narrative style it successfully unites thorough chronological coverage with a thematic approach offering critical analysis of core constitutional history topics set in the political social and economic context that made them constitutional issues in the first place. Combining a thoughtful and balanced narrative with an authoritative stance on key issues the authors deliberately explain the past in the light of the past without imposing upon it the standards of later generations.
Authored by two experienced professors in the field this textbook has been thoughtfully constructed to offer an accessible alternative to dense scholarly works â avoiding unnecessary technical jargon defining legal terms and historical personalities where appropriate and making explicit connections between constitutional themes and historical events. For students in an undergraduate or postgraduate constitutional history course or anyone with a general interest in constitutional developments this book will be essential reading.
