This newly revised and expanded edition of The Bill of Rights in Modern Americacaptures the noisy and potentially defining national debate about the nature and extent of our individual rights.

Twelve distinguished legal scholars discuss the history and the current debates on these and other important rights issues in a book that is certain to stimulate thoughtful discussion among all citizens.
