Description and Table of Contents
Description
Florida 2000 offers a clear, but also nuanced, account of the legal and constitutional issues surrounding the disputed presidential election. Combining original sources with analyses, Mark Whitman traces the major developments in the Bush-Gore struggle. Section introductions and commentaries synthesize the often complex material, while editor's notes provide context for each selection. The appendixes include a comprehensive chronology of events, maps, and detailed election returns for both the state and the entire country.
