      abstract = {"Constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar tells the story of  America's constitutional conversation during its first  eighty years--from the Constitution's birth in 1760 through  the 1830s, when the last of America's early leaders died.  Amar traces the threadsof Constitutional discourse, uniting  history and law in a narrative that seeks both to reveal  this history anew and to make clear who was right and who  was wrong on the biggest legal issues confronting early  America. Amar provides an essential history ofthe  Constitution's formative decades and an indispensable guide  for anyone seeking to understand America's Constitution and  its relevance today"--},
