The new reference series, Landmark Events in U.S. History, uses
both contributed essays from eminent scholars and excerpts of
primary source documents with explanatory headnotes to focus on
critical events in American political history and explains how it
came about and why it continues to play such a vital role in the
history and political evolution of the United States. The first
three books in the series are Marbury versus Madison, The Louisiana
Purchase, and Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence remains one of the most valued
and sacred political documents in American history. It has been and
continues to be cited by emerging democracies, Supreme Court
justices, and in political debates ranging from states' rights to
equal rights.
Through documents and analytical essays, Declaration of
Independence will explain the:
-- founding of the nation and its role in the crafting and
interpretation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights
-- how historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King
Jr., and Malcolm X used the spirit of the document to advance their
causes
-- how Native Americans and women influenced and were influenced by
the Declaration
-- how the three branches of government -- the president, Congress,
and the Supreme Court -- have used the Declaration of Independence
as a means to advance political agenda.
