This book represents perhaps the single most important volume to be
published on the Constitution during the Bicentennial. With over
sixty contributing authors, it brings together the best of American
constitutional scholarship for a comprehensive and provocative
discussion of the Constitution's history, its principles and its
current meaning. Contributing authors to the book range from
historians and political scientists to Congressmen and Supreme
Court Justices. Some of the better-known contributors include
former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, former Chief Justice
Warren Burger, Congressman Philip Crane, lawyer Phillis Schlafly,
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Leonard Levy, former United States
Senator Eugene McCarthy, and the venerable dean of United States
historians, Henry Steele Commager. Most of the articles published
in this volume appeared originally as part of the acclaimed New
Federalist Papers newspaper series, which has been used by hundreds
of newspapers across the country since 1984. The book is arranged
into seventeen different sections, each of which focuses on a major
constitutional principle or institution. Topic areas include
federalism, the separation of powers, Congress, the bureaucracy,
the Presidency, the Judiciary, foreign policy, civil rights,
economics, constitutional reform, and the relationship between
church and state. The sections of the book were designed to
parallel the standard subjects covered in an introductory college
course. Co-published with Public Research, Syndicated.
