"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence." This handsome hardback edition brings together 20 texts which were vital in forging the United States and its constitution as we know it, gloriously presented with printed page edges. Since the founding of the republic, great thinkers and politicians have set out their visions for America through formal documents, impassioned speeches and momentous treaties. This collection includes some of the most important works that helped define the country that America was to become. Politicians like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton helped define the founding values of the United States of America. Their bold and revolutionary ideas did not come about unopposed, and they found themselves called upon to explain their reasoning to the wider public. The words of these incredible individuals ring just as true today as when they were first made and provided a firm foundation for the country that is the America we know and love today. This volume features documents as: - The Declaration of Independence - Benjamin Franklin's Final Speech to the Constitutional Convention - The Constitution and the Amendments - The Federalist Papers - President George Washington's Farewell Address - The Emancipation Proclamation

As vice president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson presided over the Senate. To improve its procedures, he wrote A Manual of Parliamentary Practice, first published in 1800, which has been the basis for the rules of Congress ever since. In 1812, Jefferson amended and revised his text and considered the new edition his final word on the function of Congress. Now, for the first time, the 1812 edition is published along with an introduction detailing the history of the text and tracing the discovery of Jefferson's revised edition. The new edition will be the basis for the US House of Representatives's rules in 2025 and is the definitive American text of parliamentary procedure. Author Brian Alexander presents groundbreaking research using Jefferson's own writings in this historic Manual of Parliamentary Practice, now in its definitive edition.
