In 1776, upon the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers concluded America’s most consequential document with a curious note, pledging “our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor”. Lives and honor did indeed hang in the balance, yet just what were their fortunes? How much did the Founders stand to gain or lose through independence? In this landmark account, historian Willard Sterne Randall investigates the private financial affairs of the Founders, illuminating like never before how and why the Revolution came about.

In 1776, the United States of America was born from a document that declared all men created equal and free to choose who they serve in this world. What followed was a difficult fight against a monarchy, a fight that ended with the creation of a powerful country built on the tenets of freedom and equality. These documents are some of the foundational writings from the earliest days of the country that have shaped the United States government for centuries.

In Real Americans, Jared A. Goldstein boldly challenges the conventional wisdom that a shared devotion to the Constitution is the essence of what it means to be American.

To understand the most contentious issues around religious liberty, this volume provides influential philosophical ideas from the US’ founding to the present day and key US Supreme Court judgements to ask how the two twin pillars of religious freedom - free exercise and the limit on religious establishment - unfold in daily life.

Has American democracy's long, ambitious run come to an end? Possibly yes. As William G. Howell and Terry M. Moe argue in this trenchant new analysis of modern politics, the United States faces a historic crisis that threatens our system of self-government - and if democracy is to be saved, the causes of the crisis must be understood and defused.

Do you want to know the real story of the Second Amendment, so you can decide what it means for yourself? The Second Amendment Manifesto is for you. In true stories stretching from ancient Greece to modern-day America, you’ll quickly discover how the Second Amendment came to be, why it’s worth protecting, and what you can do to defend it right now.

Martha Minow takes stock of the new media landscape. As Minow shows, the First Amendment of the US Constitution assumes the existence and durability of a private industry. Although the First Amendment does not govern the conduct of entirely private enterprises, nothing in the Constitution forecloses government action to regulate concentrated economic power, to require disclosure of who is financing communications, or to support news initiatives where there are market failures.

En 1776, les 13 colonies anglaises qui deviendront les 13 premiers États des États-Unis d'Amérique déclaraient leur indépendance, mais l'Angleterre, pour des raisons politiques et économiques, ne leur a octroyé cette indépendance qu'en 1783 après une guerre qui aura duré sept ans.

Under the cover of being designated as private correspondence, the letters between the queen and the governor-general about the dismissal have been locked away for decades in the National Archives of Australia, and embargoed by the queen - potentially forever. In the face of this, Professor Jenny Hocking embarked on a four-year legal battle to force the Archives to release the letters. In 2015, she mounted a crowd-funded campaign, securing a stellar pro bono team that took her case all the way to the High Court of Australia.

For most of the 20th century, the American founding has been presented as a struggle between social classes over issues arising primarily within, rather than outside, the United States. But in recent years, new scholarship has instead turned to the international history of the American union to interpret both the causes and the consequences of the US Constitution. Max M. Edling argues that the Constitution was created to defend US territorial integrity and the national interest from competitors in the western borderlands and on the Atlantic Ocean.

Demokratie braucht Offenheit, Konfrontation und klare Spielregeln - mühsam und eine Art Stresstest in diesen Krisenzeiten. Dabei steht nicht weniger als das Vertrauen zwischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und Politik auf dem Spiel. Wie kann man die Verfassung populismusfester, die Kommunalpolitik elternfreundlicher oder das Beamtentum zeitgemäßer machen? Wie lassen sich da, wo Regeln fehlen, neue verabschieden?

Ferdinand von Schirach über neue, notwendige Menschenrechte. Mit der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung 1776 und der Erklärung der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte 1779 in Frankreich wurden die Grundsteine für unsere moderne Gesellschaft gelegt, für unsere Freiheit und unsere unveräußerlichen Rechte. Das Erstaunliche an diesen Deklarationen ist, dass sie nicht die Wirklichkeit widerspiegelten. Die großen Manifeste der Menschheit verlangten eine Ordnung der Gesellschaft, die es noch nicht gab. Es waren Utopien.

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.

La costituzione è la legge fondamentale dello Stato italiano. La costituzione elenca i principi fondamentali su cui si basa la Repubblica Italiana, primo tra tutti il lavoro. Essa contiene inoltre i diritti e i doveri dei cittadini e i principi dell'ordinamento della Repubblica, che prescrivono il funzionamento delle istituzioni democratiche. La costituzione si ispira fondamentalmente a principi anti-autoritari e anti-fascisti, poichè la Repubblica fu proclamata dai partigiani nel dopoguerra alla fine del regime di Mussolini.

William M. Fraser's Remaining a Republic and Retaining Our Constitution is a must-listen! There’s a reason why the Constitution of the United States begins with the words, “We the People”. The founders knew that a government is only as good as the people who maintained it. If we cherish our Constitution and work to uphold our rights, we will be able to live up to the ideals that the framers had intended.

1993年の初版刊行以来、多くの読者の圧倒的な支持を受け、四半世紀にわたって読みつがれてきた憲法教科書の決定版を四年ぶりに改訂。

Americans seldom deify their Founding Fathers any longer, but they do still tend to venerate the Constitution and the republican government that the founders created. Strikingly, the founders themselves were far less confident in what they had wrought, particularly by the end of their lives. In fact, most of them - including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson - came to deem America's constitutional experiment an utter failure that was unlikely to last beyond their own generation.

La "Costituzione della Repubblica Italiana" è la legge fondamentale dello Stato italiano, che in quanto tale occupa il vertice della gerarchia delle fonti nell'ordinamento giuridico della Repubblica: considerata una costituzione scritta, rigida, lunga, votata, compromissoria, laica, democratica e tendenzialmente programmatica, è formata da 139 articoli e di 18 disposizioni transitorie e finali. Approvata dall'Assemblea Costituente il 22 dicembre 1947 e promulgata dal capo provvisorio dello Stato Enrico De Nicola il 27 dicembre seguente.
