Committee Serial No. 16.

DIVProvides a historically grounded examination of the original meaning of the 2nd Amendment and an interpretation of the rights it safeguards (or doesn't) in the light of that historical understanding./div

Editor Sylvia Engdahl explores a highly controversial topic, the right to equal protection under the law. This right grants everyone protection, but we haven't always granted it equally. Timely essays in this volume debate school segregation, a woman's right in relation to non-consent pregnancy, an unborn child's rights, the rights of children of illegal immigrants, and gay marriage.

Rather than a dry, hard-to-understand reference book on our Constitutional rights, this collection of essays presents a lively discussion of what "citizenship for all" really means. Essay resources include Akhil Reed Amar, James F. Wilson, Priscilla Huang, Horace Gray, Melville Fuller, and Dmitri Vasillaros. Essay topics include slavery, federal despotism, naturalized citizens, undocumented immigrants, and dual citizenship.
