Description
American Constitutional Law: Powers and Liberties, Sixth Edition provides a broad survey of the field without overwhelming students. The basics of constitutional theory are presented without getting mired in highly theoretical discussions, and cases are tightly edited to focus on the most important aspects, with additional cases on select topics condensed into narrative summaries. The book focuses on cases and expository text rather than extensive academic commentary, and introductory text provides direction to students as they read and analyze the materials that follow. Additionally, challenging hypotheticals are provided throughout the text for use as student self-assessments or to launch stimulating class discussions.This highly teachable book can be used for a one- or two-semester course and is easily adaptable to suit each professor's preferences. New to the Sixth Edition: Updated through the Supreme Court's 2017-2018 Term Excerpts of major cases including: Murphy v. NCAA, Trump v. Hawaii, Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, Fisher v. Texas, Matal v. Tam, Packingham v. North Carolina, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra, Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, and Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission Summaries or omissions of older or outdated cases to reduce length New questions and problems for added cases to promote self-assessment Professors and students will benefit from: Easy adaptation to a one- or two-semester course "Just-right" editing of major cases, with less important cases summarized in notes or narrative summary Even-handed presentation of cases so adopters don't have to "teach against" the text Narrative introductions that provide students with context and organizational structure Annual Supplement
