Abstract
The study of the United States Constitution is not the exclusive province of any one discipline or profession. But, the history of the United States has demonstrated that the Constitution, particularly in its human rights aspects, is preeminently a legal document. As Tocqueville said a century and a half ago, "There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one." This paper explains both the historical format and its jurisprudential emphasis.
