Relating the construction of the constitutions of France, Germany, the United States, Yugoslavia, Spain, Egypt, Venezuela and Nigeria, this volume provides analyses of how to put into practice the principles of consitutionalism - political liberty, security of rights and self-government.
In the discussions in this volume, distinguished jurists, journalists, and scholars strive to capture the unspoken principles of the Constitution, its elusive but compelling spirit.
This book tells how the Bill of Rights was amended to the Constitution and explains how that addition completed the Constitution by clarifying the status of the American people.
