Freedom of speech, the right to trial by jury, the right to bear arms, the right to privacy: noted legal historian David J. Bodenhamer details these and other fundamental rights of all Americans in separate chapters that tell the history of a right from its foundations up to the most recent interpretations of the courts. Each chapter traces how a particular right has evolved as a result of legislation, social changes, and landmark Supreme Court cases."--BOOK JACKET.Bodenhamer, David J. is the author of 'Our Rights ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780195313406 and ISBN 0195313402.
