Description

As the current political climate becomes increasingly contentious, the United States' founding document receives added attention. Donald C. Dahlin re-examines the US Constitution, challenging students to form educated opinions on important contemporary discussions. Presenting a limited number of landmark Supreme Court decisions, We the People provides support for multiple sides of a single debate. Each case is carefully contextualized and selections from the justices' rulings are held up for scrutiny. Rich fodder for classroom debate, this volume is both necessary and accessible.
