Ratified in 1788 as the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America is the single most important document in American history. The essential American documents collected in this volume span four centuries and include, in addition to the Constitution and its amendments, the Declaration of Independence, Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty” speech, George Washington’s farewell address, Henry David Thoreau’s essay “Civil Disobedience,” America’s declaration of war following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and numerous presidential inaugural addresses. This special edition features an elegantly designed cover and a durable flexible binding. It is an indispensable addition to any home history library.
Author
Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50). If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it. Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
