Description
The U.S. Constitution: A Very Short Introduction by David J. Bodenhamer The U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1788, continues to shape American life today. Its impact is evident in ongoing debates about constitutional legitimacy and the balance of power. This book explores the major themes that have shaped American constitutional history, including federalism, the balance of powers, property, representation, equality, rights, and security. Informed by the latest scholarship, The U.S. Constitution: A Very Short Introduction places constitutional history within the context of American political and social history. As the nation's circumstances have changed, so has its Constitution. Understanding how the Constitution has evolved will help us adapt its principles to the challenges of our age. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, a collection of pocket-sized books that provide a concise introduction to almost every subject area.
