Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America, Adopted by the Confederate Congress - Paperback
$27.09
by Confederate States of America (Created by)
Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America, Adopted by the Confederate Congress is the foundational governing document of the short-lived Confederate nation, formally ratified in 1861. Crafted as a refined successor to the provisional constitution, it closely mirrors the structure and language of the United States Constitution while deliberately incorporating Southern interpretations of states’ rights, limited federal power, and the explicit protection of chattel slavery as a permanent institution.
This edition presents the complete text of the Permanent Constitution as adopted by the Confederate Congress, offering readers direct access to the legal framework that guided the Confederacy through the Civil War years. Essential for historians, constitutional scholars, and students of American history, the document reveals both the ideological continuity with the Founding Fathers and the profound divergences that led to Southern secession.
