Farber (law, U. of California, Berkeley) and Sherry (law, Vanderbilt U.) trace the history of the United States Constitution, from its intellectual origins in the Magna Carta to present-day arguments concerning the intentions of its authors. The focus is on the debates that took place during the drafting and ratification of each phase of the document. Included in the appendices are the text of the U.S. Constitution, drafts of the Bill of Rights and the 1787 Constitution, and a biographical dictionary of the people involved in their creation.
