Description
From Library Journal This is certainly one of the most innovative, ambitious, and useful of the scholarly publications celebrating the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. Its nearly 300 contributors (historians, lawyers, and political scientists) have written over 2000 entries pertaining to all facets of the Constitutiondoctrinal concepts, specific judicial decisions, important people, and historical periods in American constitutional development. Entries vary in length from one paragraph to several pages; all are abundantly cross referenced to allied topics and most contain bibliographical references. Included are a glossary and three useful indexes: general, names, and cases. This richly detailed, skillfully edited, and easy to use reference set belongs in most libraries.Edward C.
