More about the book
America won its freedoms through revolution, but that was not enough to ensure them for posterity. Our founding fathers recognized the importance of articulating those freedoms in words that could be put in print to guide the policies of the fledgling nation and speak to generations of Americans to come. The United States Constitution and Other American Documents collects five essential documents that form the foundation of our democracy and express the spirit of America. This volume includes the full text of the Constitution and its Amendments as well the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. Included as well is the full text of Common Sense, Thomas Paine’s incendiary pamphlet that advocated independence as the only remedy to hostilities between the American colonies and the British monarchy. The five immortal documents gathered in this beautifully designed volume are timeless embodiments of America’s democratic ideals.
