With two of the most important documents in American history, this handsome edition features both the Constitution of the United States of America and the Declaration of Independence.
This elegant hardcover volume features the historical documents that shaped the founding of the United States, providing an intimate look at the early days of democracy in this country.
With critical documentation that informed the nation’s development, this book provides deep insights into democracy and the democratic process. This beautiful reference contains the complete text of two documents every American and citizen of the world should read:
It also contains a comprehensive analytical index of the original Constitution and all its ratified amendments, for when you’re looking for a specific topic or section.
On July 4, 1776, in the midst of the Revolutionary War, the thirteen colonies of the United States ratified a document that would later be known as the Declaration of Independence. In it, the Continental Congress and the people it represented declared they were no longer under the rule of Great Britain and were now the United States.
The Delegates who convened at the Federal Convention in Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, agreed to construct a new framework for a national government. Throughout the next four months, led by their elected president, George Washington, they debated the proper form such government should take.
Once the Constitution was constructed, the debates that ensued in state senates while each state was ratifying it made clear the need for additions to the basic framework drafted in Philadelphia to protect certain liberties at the core of American traditions. James Madison, then a member of the new United States House of Representatives, drafted a list of amendments to guarantee the freedoms that Americans hold dear that would become known as the Bill of Rights.
Whether you are a history buff looking to enhance your library or you are studying or teaching US government in school or at home, you’ll enjoy this sturdy, portable reference.
