"I appreciate the author providing a historical context for not only the Bill of Rights but the distinction between federal and state applications of those rights, particularly the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments. I find that if my students understand the rationale for the establishment of rights, the ‘why,’ their understanding of all that follows is enhanced."
