In this newly revised work, Lawrence Friedman presents a
comprehensive and accessible survey of New Hampshire constitutional
history and constitutional law. One of the oldest written
constitutions in the United States, the New Hampshire Constitution
pre-dates the federal constitution and, with the Massachusetts
Constitution, served as a model for many of the state constitutions
that followed. This volume recounts the history of its drafting and
development over the past 200 years and reviews in detail both the
constitutional provisions that frame the state government as well
as those that secure individual rights against government
infringement. The book reviews the major cases decided under each
provision and provides commentary on the continued development of
state constitutional law in New Hampshire. The second edition
provides revisions throughout the book updating each commentary
with the latest cases including those involving the state
constitutional right to education, along with cutting-edge issues
of search and seizure law, making it the most comprehensive,
single-volume guide to the New Hampshire Constitution. The Oxford
Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an
important series that reflects a renewed international interest in
constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the
50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series
contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional
development, a section-by-section analysis of its current
constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under
the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the
Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, this
series provides essential reference tools for understanding state
constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased
individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched
access to these important political documents.
