The Constitution of the United States: An Unfolding Story is a brief text that contains the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, all twenty-seven constitutional amendments, and a concise, engaging guide to the historical development and significance of these critical documents. Professor Keenan wrote this book specifically to help readers learn basic facts and concepts with ease and he includes dozens of memorable study hints and mnemonic devices. The Constitution of the United States: An Unfolding Story begins by examining the historical background of written legal documents. Professor Keenan then devotes separate chapters to the processes of drawing up, ratifying, and amending the Constitution. Amendments that overruled the Supreme Court, the reversal of court decisions by legislation, and the seven amendments that were never ratified are succinctly described.
