The U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments (including the Bill of
Rights) is a living document, as evidenced by new laws and Supreme
Court rulings that with each passing year change how the
Constitution's guidelines are interpreted and implemented. A
Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments is
designed to show students just how revolutionary the Constitution
was-and how relevant it remains today. This seventh revised edition
of the Companion begins by revisiting the key events leading to the
Constitution's ratification, including the writing of the
Declaration of Independence and the proceedings of the
Constitutional Convention, then explores the document article by
article, amendment by amendment, to help readers better understand
how each section of the document shapes the world we live in today.
In addition, the Companion illuminates how new laws, political
debates, and Supreme Court decisions are continually reshaping our
understanding of the Constitution and its role in American life and
society-including such essential and foundational elements of
democracy as voting; elections; the peaceful transfer of power;
equality before the law; civil rights and liberties; and the
duties, responsibilities, and obligations of the nation's three
branches of government. Thorough analysis by John R. Vile,
recognized as one of the country's leading scholars on the U.S.
Constitution In-depth and updated discussion of every
constitutional article and amendment New "Questions for Reflection
and Discussion" feature for every chapter Extended exploration of
Supreme Court decisions of major import in shaping modern
understandings of the Constitution Chronology of key events in
