Recenzii

Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2016

“The book is organized around each article of the Constitution, describing the powers of Congress, the president, and the judiciary, as well as how federalism was supposed to work and how amendments were to occur. … Excellent for collections on American law and politics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels.” (D. Schultz, Choice, Vol. 53 (5), January, 2016)
