Presents the thesis that a sound and satisfying foundation for a general and fully national American law of human rights exists in three important documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Ninth Amendment, and the "citizenship" and "privileges and immunities" clauses of Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Black, a powerful advocate for civil rights and one of the great constitutional thinkers of the 20th-century, leads readers to a clarified understanding of the great foundation of rights provided by America's forbears.
