by Joseph Story (Author)

"I have finished reading this great work Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, and wish it could be read by every statesman, and every would-be statesman in the United States. It is a comprehensive and an accurate commentary on our Constitution, formed in the spirit of the original text." --Chief Justice John Marshall (1833)

Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States Vol. III--with a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States Before the Adoption of the Constitution, written by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story in three volumes, was first published in 1833, of which this edition is a replica. This work is a landmark of early American jurisprudence and is still an important source about the forming of the American republic and about Story's defense of the power of the national government and economic liberty.
