Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this timely book, Professor Antieau proposes much-needed changes to the Constitution of the United States. He points out that it has been well over a century since the document was last thoroughly reviewed." "In three parts Antieau discusses (1) rights that have been ruled only implicitly present in the Constitution, such as freedom of association and the right of privacy; (2) constitutional clauses that require amendment, for example, the right to bail and the presidential veto; and (3) other fundamental rights and ideas that are not addressed in the Constitution, among them the rights to education, a healthy environment, and adequate social services." "Writing in clear, easy-to-follow language, Antieau makes his case by drawing on the great political philosophers of the West - Aristotle, Aquinas, Locke, and de Tocqueville - and on the framers of the Constitution themselves, including Jefferson, Madison, and Adams. He also refers to judicial rulings by the Supreme Court and developments in international law."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
