Justice in the United States : human rights and the U.S. constitution
"In this volume, Judith Blau and Alberto Moncada compare the constitutional provisions of a number of nation-states and summarize some of the relevant United Nations' human rights declarations and treaties. To encourage U.S. citizens to think critically about their constitution in light of the constitutions of other states, the authors present a draft revision of the U.S. Constitution. Of course, revision of the Constitution must be a comprehensively democratic process, and the authors wish to show how this process might begin."--BOOK JACKET
