American Epic: A Reader's Guide to the U.S. Constitution
Epps, Garrett (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, University of Baltimore Law School)
In American Epic, the eminent legal scholar Garrett Epps shares his own interpretations of the text of the U. S. Constitution-as law, as poetry, as narrative, and as What the Framers Intended-both as a guide and an inspiration for others as they explore the document for themselves and find their own approaches. He shows that it is possible to pay close attention to each word and sentence in the Constitution without interpreting it narrowly; to engage with the text notsearching for one meaning, but many. A fluid and engaging writer, Epps' learned and surprising reading of the Constitution will make readers look at the document in an entirely new way.
