America's Unwritten Constitution: The Precedents and Principles We Live By Book offers an illuminating perspective on the American constitutional system. While the written Constitution holds a revered position, it fails to encompass all the rules, rights, principles, and procedures that shape modern America. Crucial concepts like the separation of powers and the rule of law lack explicit mention. But fear not, esteemed legal scholar Akhil Reed Amar unveils the solution to these constitutional puzzles. In his groundbreaking book, Amar delves into the vast trove of values, precedents, and practices that complete the terse text.

Amar takes you on a tour of our nation's unwritten Constitution and shows how crucial it is to contextualize the written text with various factors.
