OpinionJournal - Five Best: Books about the U.S. Constitution

Writing for the regular "Five Best" OpinionJournal feature (in which someone recommends books on a selected topic), Robert H. Bork has a few things to say about these five books on the U.S. Constitution: The Federalist by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States by Joseph Story (Hillard, Gray & Co., 1833), The Least Dangerous Branch by Alexander M. Bickel (Bobbs-Merrill, 1962), The Rise of Modern Judicial Review by Christopher Wolfe (Basic Books, 1986), and Separation of Church and State by Philip Hamburger (Harvard University, 2002).
