Synopsis

The seven formidable essays that make up this new analysis explore the Constitution and its central place in the development of the first nation to be built on the foundation of the rights of man. Of particular interest is Berns's view of minorities under the Constitution.

From the Back Cover

'Walter Berns's latest book is must reading for every judge, law student, or member of the general public who wants to know more about our Federal Constitution. Berns concisely and clearly relates the history of the document but brings it down into modern, everyday life with an excellent discussion of the difference between 'rights' and 'interests' which keep getting confused by the United States Supreme Court.'
