Grade 9 Up. With more than 400 alphabetically organized entries, this comprehensive but esoteric reference work explores the subtleties of the constitutional amendments and any information pertinent to the amendment process. The 27 successful amendments are covered in short but useful essays that discuss the history of their passing. Entries concerning failed efforts, such as the Equal Rights Amendment, usually describe other legislative measures used to address the subject of the proposed amendment. Other articles treat related issues, relevant Supreme Court cases, and presidents and other individuals who have influenced the amending process. Also included is a copy of the Constitution and a time line from 1683 to the present that lists important moments in amendment history and the number of amendments proposed in a given year. Although the book is comprehensive, the articles are uniformly short and the scope is somewhat limited. For large collections.?Lawrence Kapture, New York Public Library

Vile (political science, Middle Tennessee State Univ.) provides an encyclopedic treatment of proposed constitutional amendments and the key players who took part in the social and political events related to them. In over 400 alphabetically arranged entries, the author provides a history and analysis of the 27 existing amendments to the U.S. Constitution and the nearly 11,000 amendments that have been proposed. Biographical entries on constitutional scholars and others who participated in the mechanics or theory of the amendatory processes range from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Sam Ervin, Arthur S. Miller, and William Penn. Supreme Court decisions, often the impetus for constitutional amendments, are reviewed and explained. Subject-matter essays covering topics such as reproductive rights, slavery, and school prayer add depth and accessibility. The bibliography is extensive, and an appendix that lists key amending proposals by year is a handy tool. Vile does an incredible job of organizing and connecting vast amounts of history. Essential for many public and academic libraries.?Joan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester,
