Description

This study of the United States Constitution was written in the 1920's by James M. Beck, then Solicitor General of the United States. This is a compilation of lectures that were delivered to distinguished guests at the famous Gray's Inn in London who wanted to learn more about how the Constitutional Law of the United States differed from their Parliamentary Law in England.Here is just a bit of the beginning of his lecture on the Constitutional Convention:"Now follows a notable and yet little known scene in the drama of history. It reveals a people who, without shedding a drop of blood, calmly and deliberately abolished one government, substituted another, and erected it upon foundations which have hitherto proved enduring. Even the superstructure slowly erected upon these foundations has suffered little change in the most changing period of the world's history, and until recently its additions, few in number, have varied little from the plans of the original architects. The Constitution is to-day, not a ruined Parthenon, but rather as one of those Gothic masterpieces, against which the storms of passionate strife have beaten in vain. "
