Together with the Bill of Rights and the Civil War amendments, these documents constitute what James Madison called our "political scriptures," and have come to define us as a people. Now a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian serves as a guide to these texts, providing historical contexts and offering interpretive commentary.Annotated United States Constitution and Declaration of IndependenceConstitutional lawUnited StatesConstitutional historyUnited StatesConstitutional lawConstitutional history342.7302Rakove Jack N., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1580898Rakove Jack N.1947-1088368United States.United States.United States.1st-27th Amendments.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785020603321The annotated U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence3862127UNINA
