David
Brian Robertson. The original
compromise: what the Constitution's framers were really thinking.
Oxford University Press, 2013. KF4510.R54
2013 The Original Compromise is a study of the arguments and eventual compromises that made up the original Constitution. The author paints a picture of debates between the proponents of the Federalist Papers and advocates of minor modifications to the Articles of Confederation, and demonstrates how a number of the sharpest political conflicts going on in 2013 were acknowledged and deliberately institutionalized at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. |

Postigo. The

2012 The Digital Rights
Movement is a history of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and

opposition to the Act has evolved into a popular movement promoting cultural
ownership of digital media. |
