Description - The U.S. Constitution: A Very Short Introduction by David J. Bodenhamer
The U.S. Constitution: A Very Short Introduction explores the major themes that have shaped American constitutional history—federalism, the balance of powers, property, representation, equality, rights, and security. Informed by the latest scholarship, this book places constitutional history within the context of American political and social history. We do not operate today under the same Constitution created by our founding fathers or the Constitution as completed by the Bill of Rights in 1791 or even the one revised by the Reconstruction amendments. Nor are we the same nation. As our circumstances have changed, so has our Constitution.
