Synopsis
"No document in our history has seen more recurrent controversy than the Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States, our eighteenth-century statements of fundamental rights, continue to guide the administration of justice and shaping of public policy in today's world of rapid communication and complex technology. The volume's twelve historical essays by expert scholars illuminate contemporary life by describing the major elements of the Bill of Rights in terms that readers can understand and appreciate.
