Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Blood and Ink With liberty dead in over half the world, and gasping everywhere else, it is time for all Americans to spend a little while finding out just what our rights are - and to be willing to spend a little more time protecting them. Conditions in Germany with its cruelty and persecution are shocking, but so are conditions in many other places - and we are far from perfection. In our country it is especially important now to inquire into our Constitution, above all, our Bill of Rights. We came to a virgin continent and have made money so fast, though we have wasted and squandered our resources, that we have forgotten our constitutional heritage. We have left our liberties mainly to judges and lawyers. That is the reason I have placed in The Second Book our principal constitutional documents. Any American can read them as well as any judge. This is the first time the documents that are a part of our constitutional stream have been brought together for the ordinary reader. There are, of course, many scholarly collections of these documents, but here are collected from many sources, the documents needed to understand our constitutional background. It has been a pleasant job for me, these last few years. As a Member of Congress, I have had access to the best sources of information and have talked to our finest authorities. But besides availing myself of scholarship and learning, I have been pretty nearly all over the country; in slums and penthouses, in small shops and great factories, in cities and on farms - with People everywhere. Letters by the thousand I have received from individuals who tell me what they think about the Constitution.
