The Organic Documents of the Republic

I first read this book back in the early 1990's while I was a Political Science undergrad, and it was the first exposure I had to the documents that shaped our country. The Northwest Ordinance, the Constitution, the Declaration, and others are all put into context with one another and with the origins of the philosophy of our democracy. You will better understand these documents and who we are as a people after you read this book.
