Content:
Amar's landmark work invites citizens to a deeper understanding of their Bill of Rights and will set the basic terms of debate about it for modern lawyers, jurists, and historians for years to come. In our continuing battles over freedom of religion and expression, arms bearing, privacy, and state's rights, Amar concludes, we must hearken to both the Founding Fathers who created the Bill and their sons and daughters who reconstructed it
Content:
First things first -- Our First Amendment -- The military amendments -- Searches, seizures, and takings -- Juries -- The popular-sovereignty amendments -- Antebellum ideas -- The Reconstruction Amendment : text -- The Reconstruction Amendment : history -- Refining incorporation -- Reconstructing rights -- A new birth of freedom
