The fundamental, inalienable rights and privileges set forth in the Bill of Rights represent the very foundations of American liberty. Now in its second edition, The Complete Bill of Rights is the only comprehensive collection of texts essential to understanding the Bill of Rights. Fully revised for the first time since 1997, and containing double the content featured in the first edition, this volume incorporates all pertinent materials from the debate on the ratification of the Bill of Rights. Arranged in chronological order, the work presents each clause in its finished form, and traces its development from its origins. Organized in an accessible and practical manner, it is an invaluable tool for law students, judges, lawyers, and law clerks, as well as scholars of the law, history, and political science. The second edition adds the texts pertaining to the habeas corpus and the privileges and immunities clauses, a substantial discussion of rights by treatise and abridgment writers, and pertinent sources of contemporary legal interpretation.
