A major contribution to our understanding of constitutional law and an important resource for scholars, attorneys, and judges."-Louis Fisher, Visiting Scholar at the William and Mary Law School

"In this meticulously researched book, Professor Bugh individually examines each of the rights listed in the first eight amendments to the U.S. Constitution. He further indicates whether the Supreme Court has incorporated each right into the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and, if so, when it did. It is quite helpful and convenient to have this information assembled in a single place and with such attention to detail, including relevant case citations."-John Vile, Dean and Professor of Political Science at Middle Tennessee State University
