Roots of the Republic shows how the Constitution was a product, not
simply of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, but of a legal and
philosophical tradition almost two centuries old. The editors have
selected eighteen key documents in the development of that
tradition and reproduced them with essays that explain what they
mean, why they were written, and why they are important today. Each
key document is accompanied by an interpretive essay written by a
contemporary scholar. These essays focus on the importance of each
frame of government and include commentaries on why they are
meaningful today. Intended to help readers learn how to read and
understand these documents, the book is also a handy reference and
a strong introduction to the development of political thought and
the debates surrounding the formation of the state governments and
the federal union.
