Description
1833 1st ed FAMOUS US Constitution LAW Commentary Joseph Story
Joseph Story was a well-known, early 19th-century American lawyer known primarily for his ‘Commentary on the United States Constitution’. When it was first published in 1833, this work was the second comprehensive look at the U.S. Constitution and the establishment of American government and law. It helped shape the fundamental nature of law and legal arguments in early America. The ‘Oxford Companion to Law’ says that “The Commentaries were incredible achievements, and evidence immense industry and legal knowledge.”
This work includes a variety of topics other than simply a treatise on the American Constitution. Story provides a clear but general history of the American colonies, the American Revolution, constitutional amendments, and the flaws in the Articles of the Confederation.
