The Fourth Amendment: Origins and Original Meaning 602 - 1791

Autor William J. Cuddihy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2009
The Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure provides the bulwark for police regulation and many other government functions in the United States. One of the most controversial rights in the Bill of Rights, this amendment is also among the most frequently adjudicated provisions of constitutional law. Yet its meaning has remained deeply contested, and the story of its origins is largely unknown. This book tells the full story of theFourth Amendment's complex lineage, including its intellectual roots in England. This book has particular relevance today given the long list of controversial new surveillance measures undertaken by the government in recent years, including the USA Patriot Act and the NSA wiretapping program. Thepreface has been written by privacy expert Daniel Solove.

Recenzii

Anyone who studies Cuddhy's book will emerge with a better understanding of why freedom was central to the Framers' intent. Tracey Maclin & Julia Mirabella of Boston University
William J. Cuddihy's history of the Fourth Amendment is to search and seizure what the Iliad is to Greek Literature. Epic in scope, Cuddihy's work traces debates over the searching of houses, persons, and effects from 602 to 1791...structured more like a reference work than a standard narrative history, each chapter opens with a table of contents, thesis statement and brief synopsis...Though written for the expert, Cuddihy's work boasts much that will likelybe of interest to the generalist as well
