Raktažodžiai:
In this reprint from 1998, Halbrook (Independent Institute), a legal scholar and attorney specializing in the Second Amendment, examines the origins of the Fourteenth Amendment in the Reconstruction era, and related legislation designed to protect slaves, and how these civil rights laws were implemented. He draws on legislative debates, Congressional hearings, newspapers, and legal treatises to trace the adoption of and interrelationship between the Fourteenth Amendment and civil rights legislation, with a focus on the right to bear arms. He chronologically investigates various records and legislation, as well as contemporary public opinion, to understand the process of the adoption of the Civil Rights Act, the Freedman's Bureau Act, and the Fourteenth Amendment. He also discusses conventions in the Southern states that were required to draft constitutions consistent with the amendment; Supreme Court jurisprudence of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments, including Ku Klux Klan trials and the Cruikshank case; and twentieth century developments regarding the incorporation of Bill of Rights guarantees in the Fourteenth Amendment, the Court's pronouncements on the Second Amendment, and the role of the Freedmen's Bureau Act. Distributed by Independent Publishers Group. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Recenzijos

"Halbrook has written a book that contributes significantly to our understanding of the linkage between the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. Although his primary concern has been to bring back the Second Amendment from a moribund state in American jurisprudence, Halbrook's efforts also shed considerable additional light on broader questions." -- Journal of Southern History "[ Halbrook] provides overwhelming evidence that the Fourteenth Amendment was meant to protect the right of individuals to be armed and that this particular right was a major concern of its framers ... Above all, Halbrook helps restore the historical record of a badly served constitutional amendment." -- American Historical Review "In his thorough analysis of Congressional debates, Halbrook makes quite clear the point that the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment saw Second Amendment guarantees as essential to the political liberty of the individual American citizen." --American Journal of Legal History "Halbrook does an impressive job of gathering evidence not only from the speeches of Bingham and Howard before, during, and after ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, but from a variety of other members of Congress, from newspaper coverage, and from law books of the day." --National Review
