The Founders' Constitution Jerry Below is a link from the University of Chicago which opens into the complete text of the five-volume reference, "The Founders' Constitution," edited by Philip B. Kurland and Ralph Lerner. It's $475 for the hardbound set, $60 for a reduced-format and $45 for a CD-ROM version. I have the first volume in a trade paperback 8.5x11-inch format, apparently no longer published. It's a mere 713 pages of print that is smaller that that in paperback novels, but very clear. What's it all about? Only all the essential references to the sources from which the Constitution sprang. Not only do we have all the various philosophers, but court cases, laws, bills of rights and legislative debate (the debate on the Second Amendment in the House of Representatives is highly illuminating, for example). It is the most important sourcebook for studying our Constitution. And all of this hugely expensive work is available free online: http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/ I am extremely grateful to the University of Chicago. The link is now in my Bookmarks. Don't miss it. Ed Yahoo!
