For well over two centuries, the United States Constitution has
served as a charter for a free, democratic government and for a
country that has risen from a dicey political experiment to an
economic and political superpower. In the history of the world,
there is nothing like it. In The Constitution: Understanding
America s Founding Document, Michael S. Greve explains how to think
seriously about the United States Constitution and constitutions in
general. What are constitutions supposed to do, and what can they
accomplish? Why was the specific form of the Constitution including
both its structure and its rights catalogue so important? Why is
the Constitution so difficult to amend? Greve provides a fresh
perspective on the Constitution s structure and our enduring
constitutional controversies, from federalism and the separation of
powers to slavery, civil rights, and the administrative state.
