The American Constitution: Its Global Heritage. Essays by the Staff of the Law Library of the Library of Congress on the Occasion of the Bicentennial
of the Constitution of the United States (June 1987). v + 56 p. Contents include the Foreword by Carleton W. Kenyon, Law Librarian; and essays on
Australia, the Republic of China, France, Japan, Liberia, Nigeria, The Philippines, Switzerland and the Republic of Vietnam. (The Foreword states:
“Various aspects of the national constitutions discussed in this booklet may be traced to the American model. In some instances, the U.S. example was
adopted because of the political influence wielded by the United States. Certain countries adapted their constitutions to the American Constitution in
recognition of its flexibility and universality—two characteristics that attracted even societies with legal or cultural traditions quite disparate from
those of the U.S.”)
