A valuable resource for students, teachers, and citizens looking to
better understand US Constitutional history With Liberty and
Justice for All?: The Constitution in the Classroom is designed to
help teachers and students generate analysis and debate in our
nation's classrooms about an aspect of US history that has produced
intense disagreements about rights and wrongs: constitutional
history. For more than two centuries, Americans have argued about
what the US Constitution permits or requires (or not), and what
values and ideals it enshrines (or not)-indeed, who is to be
included (or not) in the very definition of "We the People." This
book provides abundant resources to explore key moments of debate
about the Constitution and its meaning, focusing on fundamental
questions of citizenship and rights. It analyzes American history
through the use and misuse of the Constitution over time, from
early disputes about liberty and slavery to more recent quarrels
over equality and dignity. With a foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
this book's succinct and probing essays by prize-winning
historians-including Linda Greenhouse, Mary Sarah Bilder, Annette
Gordon-Reed, Eric Foner, Sam Erman, Julie Suk, Laura Kalman, and
Melissa Murray-provide the core of the book. Their topics encompass
woman suffrage, school desegregation, Japanese internment,
McCarthyism, all dramatic turning points in American history.
Carefully selected and annotated primary sources and focused
discussion questions provide teachers with the tools to bring
constitutional history into the classroom with ease. As this book
amply demonstrates, United States history is constitutional
history. A companion website provides additional resources for
teachers.
