A propos de cet article

In a nation committed to judicial review as a means of reforming its constitution, the formal process for amending the United States Constitution is often forgotten. In fact the process of formal amendment is attempted on a very regular basis, but is seldom successfully completed. Kyvig's book is the most comprehensive study of all aspects of the efforts to amend the United States Constitution through the amendment process provided for in Article V of the United States Constitution. Hardcover book with dust jacket, never been read. 1st printing.

Synopsis

Of the 10,000 amendments proposed by the method stipulated in Article V of the US Constitution, only 27 were ratified into law. This study re-examines the creation and operation of Article V and shows the process and substance of each main effort at changing the structure of the federal government.
