Corwin, published in the early 1950s. This thorough document provides annotations and interpretations of the Constitution, particularly drawing from decisions made by the Supreme Court up until 1952. It aims to serve as a handy guide for understanding the evolving nature of constitutional law and the principles set forth by the Founding Fathers. The opening of the text outlines its purpose and historical context, emphasizing the vital role the Constitution plays as both a governing document and a framework for judicial interpretation.
