Reviews«The four volumes of this new documentary sourcebook offer a fresh look at our constitutional past. In addition to excerpts from landmark decisions of the Supreme Court, the editors provide a host of other important documents _ everything from England_s Magna Carta to the U.S. Congress_s authorization of the Iraq War _ that illuminate the evolution of American constitutionalism. Students will benefit from the chance to hear these disparate voices of our constitutional heritage, while professors and teachers will appreciate the concise commentary and thoughtful organization. I strongly recommend them.» (Timothy S. Huebner, Rhodes College, author of _The Southern Judicial Tradition: State Judges and Sectional Distinctiveness, 1790-1890_) «Christopher Waldrep and Lynne Curry have assembled a treasure trove of teaching materials on the Constitution. Students and teachers alike will find useful materials on women and the law, slavery, state's rights, and so much more.

Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisThe Civil War shook America to the core of its constitutional foundations. Before the war, the Constitution protected slavery and kept power decentralized. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln gathered enormous national power to combat what he called the «anarchy» of secession. After the war, the nation struggled to understand what had happened. Historians Christopher Waldrep and Lynne Curry have assembled a collection of constitutional documents to explore the meaning of the Civil War, the influence of constitutionalism on presidential war powers, and the U.S. Supreme Court's fight to limit the war's impact in post-Civil War America., The Civil War shook America to the core of its constitutional foundations.
