Throughout American history, however, a handful of people have suggested that the United States's problem is its Constitution and that the answer is a new document. This book republishes proposed alternative constitutions, most for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume opens with an introduction that explores the significance of these constitutions to American constitutional development and assesses the framers' success in nearly precluding counter-constitutional opposition. The ten chapters that follow include an introduction to each proposed constitution, a brief biographical sketch of the author, the constitution itself, and a summary of the contemporary response to the proposed constitution. This book will be of interest to constitutional and legal historians and to intellectual and political historians.","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082124779671,"sku":"9780313254192","price":9560.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780313254192.webp?v=1767263021","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alternative-constitutions-for-the-united-states-a-documentary-history-9780313254192","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
