This edition includes all of the author's notes.At over half a million words, the commentaries of Joseph Story upon the Constitution stands among most thorough ever written. Believing that the Constitution must be understood in multiple contexts, Story commences by presenting a history of the American Colonies - each is covered in turn, offering the reader cultural insight.The Revolutionary War was accompanied by the publication of the Articles of Confederation. These were a precursor to the Constitution of the USA, and Story examines the document accordingly. The establishment of a constitutional document is shown to be a defining and crucial trait of the incipient Republic, and Story demonstrates that from the outset the composition, formation and ratification processes were beset with differences of opinion and compromise.

Über den Autor
JOSEPH STORY (1779-1845), one of the most significant lawyers in early American constitutional history, became the youngest US Supreme Court Justice (1811-45) at age 32. He worked closely with Chief Justice John Marshall in developing the legal foundation for American nationalism. Story was also one of the most successful American authors of the first half of the 19th century, with several publications, including Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States and its popular abridged edition.
