Constitutional Law for a Changing America

"e;Excellent balance of case excerpts and author explanation, highly appropriate for undergraduate students."e;-Dr. Wendy Brame, Briar Cliff UniversityPolitical factors influence judicial decisions. Arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, the ebb and flow of public opinion, and especially the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices all combine to shape the development of constitutional doctrine. Drawing from political science as much as from legal studies, Constitutional Law for a Changing America: A Short Course helps students realize that Supreme Court cases are more than just legal names and citations. With meticulous revising, the authors streamline material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship.Ideal for a one semester course, the Ninth Edition of A Short Course offers all the hallmarks of the Rights and Powers volumes (also included in the Constitutional Law for a Changing America series) in a more condensed format.Included with this title:LMS Cartridge: Import this title's instructor resources into your school's learning management system (LMS) and save time.
