Description

This revised and updated edition combines comprehensive background essays coupled with carefully edited Supreme Court case excerpts in one compact and accessible volume. The chapters are designed to explore American constitutional law and the role of the Supreme Court in its development and interpretation. Key terms, selected readings and discussion questions are provided for every chapter to aid student learning. Well-grounded in both theory and politics, the book endeavors to heighten students’ understanding of this critical part of the American political system. The textbook is supplemented by an author-written online resource that includes an Instructor’s Manual with Test Bank, historical Court documents, noteworthy decisions and dissents, and cases from previous editions.
