Lincoln’s Constitution

What are the limits of presidential power? One way to address that question is through history, as Daniel Farber does in our free e-book for March, Lincoln’s Constitution. Farber examines the greatest constitutional crisis in American history and explores the legality of Lincoln’s response to it. Out of that dark time, emerge insights for our own era, and for issues such as state sovereignty, executive power, and limitations on civil liberties in the name of national security.

“A timely and important book, which should provoke fruitful discussion of enduring issues of civil liberties and judicial philosophy.”—Richard Posner, New York Times Book Review
