Book Reviews of In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action
Book Review: A Mainstream Modern Academic View
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this book to be an adequate presentation of the mainstream academic view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rigths. If one is looking for a good grade in a civics/government/law class you will find this book usefull. However, as far as accuracy in presenting original intent of the authors and original supporters of the Bill of Rights, this book is woefully inadequate. No real substantive view of the original intent was provided. "In Our Defense" is in reality a defense of judicial activism's role in redefining the Constitution of the United States.
