Synopsis

Constitutional Law: Comprizing The Declaration Of Independence; The Articles Of Confederation; The Constitution Of The United States; And The Constitutions Of The Several States A primary-source compilation of foundational American constitutional texts spanning the late 18th century and early state constitutions. The volume collects the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Articles of Confederation (1778), the Constitution of the United States (ratified 1787) with the Amendments, and long-form state constitutions such as Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and related charters. It surveys how revolutionary principles were translated into governance, rights protections, and legal frameworks, detailing the structure of three branches, checks and balances, federalism, and the evolution of civil liberties, due process, and representation. Throughout, prominent signers and framers (e.g., Washington, Adams, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison) are noted in context of national governance. The work serves as a reference for political-legal history, constitutional law, and the development of constitutional rights and state institutions in the United States, from the Revolution through the early republic.
