PENGUIN CIVIC CLASSICS is a series of six portable, accessible, and— above all— essential reads from American political history, selected by leading scholars. Series editor Richard Beeman, author of The Penguin Guide to the United States Constitution, draws together the great texts of American civic life, including

the founding documents, pivotal historical speeches, and important Supreme Court decisions, to create a timely and informative mini-library of perennially vital issues.

American Political SpeechesEdited with an Introduction by Terry GolwayAmerican Political Speeches includes the best American rhetoric from men and women who were able to move the nation with words. Frederick Douglass explained the irony of Independence Day from the perspective of a slave. Martin Luther King, Jr. described his dream of an interracial America. William Jennings Bryan gave voice to social discontent with a single phrase, “a cross of gold.” Barbara Jordan summoned the nation’s outrage during the impeachment hearings against Richard Nixon. And the best presidents, not by coincidence, have tended to be those with an appreciation for the use of language: Lincoln explaining a new birth of freedom at Gettysburg; John Kennedy voicing moral outrage at the Berlin Wall; Franklin D. Roosevelt chatting to a nation gathered in front of radios; Ronald Reagan addressing Congress freshly healed from an assassination attempt.

Thomas PaineCommon SenseIntroduction by Richard BeemanPublished anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged. His pamphlet was the first to speak directly to a mass audience — it went through fifty-six editions within a year of publication—and its assertive and often caustic style embodied the democratic spirit he advocated. This Penguin Civic Classics volume ends with the first installment of Paine’s American Crisis essays.

The Declaration of Independence and The United States ConstitutionAnnotated with an Introduction by Richard BeemanNo citizen of the United States should be without the Declaration and the Constitution, the most important documents in the nation’s history. Richard Beeman’s annotations and modernizing commentary make these foundational and indispensable texts approachable for all, showing why they remain at the core of modern American life.

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John JayThe Federalist PapersEdited with an Introduction by Richard BeemanWritten at a time when furious arguments were raging about the best way to govern America, The Federalist Papers had the immediate practical aim of persuading New Yorkers to accept the newly drafted Constitution in 1787. In this they were supremely successful, but their influence also transcended contemporary debate to win them a lasting place in discussions of American political theory. Beeman’s analysis helps clarify the goals, at once separate and in concert, of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay during their writing, and his selections show the array of issues—both philosophical and policy-specific — covered by this body of work.

Abraham LincolnLincoln SpeechesEdited with an Introduction by Allen C. GuelzoAbraham Lincoln endowed all of his rhetoric with vigor and moral energy, no matter the subject: the duty of the citizenry, the coming of freedom, the meaning of governance, the evils of slavery, the value of progress. The speeches selected for this volume by Lincoln expert Allen C. Guelzo are a testament to our history and a window into the mind of one of America’s greatest leaders.

Supreme Court DecisionsEdited with an Introduction by Jay M. FeinmanThe Supreme Court is one of America’s leading expositors of and participants in debates about American values. Legal expert Jay M. Feinman introduces and selects some of the most important Supreme Court decisions of all time, which touch on the very foundations of American society. These cases cover a vast array of issues, from the powers of government and freedom of speech to freedom of religion and civil liberties. Feinman offers commentary on each case and excerpts from the opinions of the Justices that show the range of debate in the Supreme Court and its importance to civil society. Among the cases included will be Marbury v. Madison, on the supremacy of the Constitution and the power of judicial review; U.S. v. Nixon, on separation of powers; and Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, a post-9/11 case on presidential power and due process.
