Asserting that the Constitution was neither an imitation nor an invention Fisher traces every material clause back to its origin. Twenty-nine colonial charters and constitutions seventeen Revolutionary constitutions and twenty-three plans of union are the resulting source materials from which Fisher draws his analysis. Abundant quotations from the sixty-nine documents illustrate the evolutionary nature of the Constitution and make this a valuable sourcebook for the reader who desires to find in one volume the Constitution's many and varied origins. unknown books

Frequently citing classical sources with his own translations he describes in impressive detail such things as curious trials and the rights and obligations of counsel. Chapter headings include: The Athenian Courts; Advocacy in Ancient Rome; The Bar under the Empire and in the Middle Ages; The Noblesse de la Robe; The Honorarium; ad Forensic Casuistry.
