Reviews"The most thoughtful and careful scholarly analysis to date of the extent to which the framers should control our contemporary understanding of the Constitution."--Stanley N. Katz, American Council of Learned Societies
Dewey Decimal342.7/3/029
SynopsisFrom abortion to same-sex marriage, today's most urgent political debates will hinge on this two-part question: What did the United States Constitution originally mean and who now understands its meaning best? Rakove chronicles the Constitution from inception to ratification and, in doing so, traces its complex weave of ideology and interest, showing how this document has meant different things at different times to different groups of Americans., With 'Original Meanings' Jack N. Rakove offers an account of the political world in which the Constitution of the United States was created, showing how that document meant different things to different groups of Americans at different times.
