Despite this consensus, inequality between states has only deepened since that moment.

When Clarence Thomas joined the Supreme Court in 1991, he found with dismay that it was interpreting a very different Constitution from the one the framers had written - the one that had established a federal government manned by the people's own elected representatives, charged with protecting citizens' inborn rights while leaving them free to work out their individual happiness themselves, in their families, communities, and states.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar, a timely history of the constitutional changes that built equality into the nation's foundation and how those guarantees have been shaken over time.

Frente a la actual «panoplia de zapadores» de la Constitución que busca dividir el país -nacionalistas, populistas, antisistemas-, los firmes partidarios de la libertad y la democracia van reculando en sus posiciones hasta conformar un «ejército de descontentos acobardados». Esta es la razón principal que impulsó a Alfonso Guerra, político orgulloso de la Transición que nos «devolvió la dignidad», a escribir La España en la que creo.

日本国憲法にはもともと和文・英文が同時に存在していたと言われています。日本国憲法の一言一句が審議される今、日本語よりも表現方法が具体的な英文を聴いてみることは、この憲法の本来の意味を問うためにも意義深いことではないでしょうか。そこで日本語版の「日本国憲法を聴こう」をそのまま英語にしました。格差社会の問題が叫ばれ、公務員の質が問われる今、英文日本国憲法に出てくる“the minimum standards”“servants ”などの英語も興味深く覚えることができ、英語のヒヤリングにも最適です。第9条の戦争放棄について英語ではどのように表現されているのかぜひあなたの耳で確かめてみてください。(C)2007株式会社AIR
