As esteemed legal scholar Akhil Reed Amar explains in Americas Unwritten Constitution, the solution to many constitutional puzzles lies not solely within the written document, but beyond it -- in the vast trove of values, precedents, and practices that complement and complete the terse text.In this sequel to Americas Constitution: A Biography, Amar takes readers on a tour of our nations unwritten Constitution, showing how Americas foundational document cannot be understood in textual isolation. Proper constitutional interpretation depends on a variety of factors, such as the precedents set by early presidents and Congresses; common practices of modern American citizens; venerable judicial decisions; and particularly privileged sources of inspiration and guidance, including the Federalist papers, William Blackstones Commentaries on the Laws of England, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, Lincolns Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.s I Have a Dream speech.
