In Celebration Of Constitutional Kindness: Soft Symbolism In A Hard Shell, James Audley Mclaughlin

West Virginia Law Review

The bicentennial of any constitution is surely an invitation to much sententious rhetoric. But the bicentennial of THE Constitution, The American Constitution of 1787, is an occasion for oratorical pyrotechnics of the first magnitude.

Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
