The U.S. Constitution

Debates surrounding the U.S. Constitution are as old as the document itself. From the essays published by Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the ratification period of the document to conversations on social media and TV news programs, there have always been people with opposing viewpoints concerning this foundational document of American democracy—and there have always been forums for them to express those viewpoints. This volume brings many of those viewpoints together to give readers a comprehensive picture of today's interpretations of the U.S. Constitution, its role in American politics, and the ways it is applied to modern issues.
