From the Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar, a timely history of the constitutional changes that built equality into the nation's foundation and how those guarantees have been shaken over time.

Starting not with the United States but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations.

Early Americans were suspicious of centralized authority and executive power. Casting away the yoke of England and its king, the founding fathers shared in this distrust as they set out to pen the Constitution. Weighing a need for consolidated leadership with a demand for states' rights, they established a large federal republic with limited dominion over the states. This Very Short Introduction audiobook provides a concise overview of federalism, from its origins and evolution to the key events and constitutional decisions that have defined its framework.

With the Supreme Court likely to reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion decision, American debate appears fixated on clashing rights. The first comprehensive legal history of a vital period, Abortion and the Law in America illuminates an entirely different and unexpected shift in the terms of debate. Drawing on unexplored records and interviews with key participants, Ziegler complicates the view that the Supreme Court is responsible for the escalation of the conflict.

Based on exclusive interviews with justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the Supreme Court through personalities, from Anthony Kennedy's overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas' well-tended grievances against his critics to David Souter's odd 19th century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush v. Gore and Sandra Day O'Connor's fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.

Common ground is hard to find in today’s politics. In a society teeming with irreconcilable political perspectives, many people have grown frustrated under a system of government that constantly demands compromise. More and more on both the right and the left have come to blame the Constitution for the resulting discord. But the Constitution is not the problem we face; it is the solution. Blending engaging history with lucid analysis, conservative scholar Yuval Levin’s American Covenant recovers the Constitution’s true genius and reveals how it charts a path to repairing America’s fault lines.

The Supreme Court and our Constitution are much in the news today, and with good reason. Progressives are deeply disturbed as a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court moves to reverse long-standing progressive precedents like Roe v. Wade, while conservatives remain keenly aware that their recent gains could easily be wiped away by a shift in political fortunes. This all raises a deeper issue - why is the Supreme Court deciding so many momentous issues? Regardless of your political persuasion, how you would vote on the following proposition:

日本国憲法にはもともと和文・英文が同時に存在していたと言われています。日本国憲法の一言一句が審議される今、日本語よりも表現方法が具体的な英文を聴いてみることは、この憲法の本来の意味を問うためにも意義深いことではないでしょうか。そこで日本語版の「日本国憲法を聴こう」をそのまま英語にしました。格差社会の問題が叫ばれ、公務員の質が問われる今、英文日本国憲法に出てくる“the minimum standards”“servants ”などの英語も興味深く覚えることができ、英語のヒヤリングにも最適です。第9条の戦争放棄について英語ではどのように表現されているのかぜひあなたの耳で確かめてみてください。(C)2007株式会社AIR

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.

A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.

In The Foresighted Ambedkar, Anurag Bhaskar argues that India’s Constitution was drafted not just between 1946 and 1950 but over the course of four decades. Dr Ambedkar was the only person to have been involved at all the stages related to the drafting of the Indian constitutional document since 1919. These stages bear the imprint of his contribution and role.

Ante este panorama de contradicciones, Juan Jesús Garza Onofre y Javier Martín Reyes señalan: la Constitución es demasiado importante para dejarla en manos de abogados y políticos. En ella se encuentran reconocidos los derechos de todas las personas, así como las reglas que nos hemos dado como sociedad. Por ello, debemos desmitificar la Constitución, dejar de verla como una reliquia ante la cual hay que inclinar la cabeza y más como un dispositivo útil para mejorar nuestra realidad cotidiana. Éste es el objetivo de este libro.
