Origins of the Fifth Amendment

by Leonard Williams Levy

Origins of the Fifth Amendment Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in history and a landmark in the study of constitutional origins, Leonard Levy s now-classic study appears for the first time in paperback. Origins probes the intentions of the framers of the Fifth Amendment and emphasizes their belief that in a society based upon respect for the individual, it is more important that the accused not unwillingly contribute to his conviction than that the guilty be punished. A work of monumental scholarship broad in scope, thorough, carefully annotated, accurate, and imaginative. Political Science Quarterly. Vastly learned...everywhere critical and reflective...written in a style at once lucid and vigorous. All in all, it is quite clearly one of the important contributions to historical literature. Henry Steele Commager. A matchless contribution to our understanding of the historical background underlying the adoption of a major provision of the Bill of Rights. American Political Science Review. A masterful job. Oscar Handlin.
