Compiled by the editors at Chartwell Books, the edition presents the founding documents in their original wording, set in a clear and readable format rather than an abridged or modernised one. An analytical index at the back helps readers move between articles, clauses and amendments, which makes the book practical for study as well as for reading straight through. Supporting material places the documents in their historical setting, so the volume works both as a primary source and as an introduction to the ideas behind constitutional government.
