Constitutional Law For A Changing America: A Short Course, 5th Edition

Because political factors influence judicial decisions, Constitutional Law for a Changing America draws on political science as well as legal studies to excerpt and analyze cases. With meticulous revising and a sharp new interior design, the authors streamline material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship. Ideal for a one semester course, the Short Course offers all of the hallmarks of the Rights and Powers volumes in a more condensed format. Updates to the fifth edition include: expanded treatment of both legal and social-scientific approaches to the Court s decision-making; a new section on student rights with an excerpt from Morse v. Frederick; increased coverage of hateful and offensive speech with an excerpt from Snyder v. Phelps; a new section on voter identification with an excerpt from Crawford v. Marion County Election Board; updated discussion of campaign reform legislation with an excerpt from the controversial Citizens United v. FEC decision.

This book gives you a clearly impartial breakdown of constitutional law for those who are just getting into it. Containing an index for every SCOTUS case written, it is extremely useful for home use or class use. I'd have bought it regardless.

It was in great shape when I rented it. This is a great text book for learning Constitutional Law. Well written.

I bought this book for my college student in Minnesota. It arrived fairly quickly, but was missing a card that was supposed to be included. Contacted and they immediately took care of the problem by sending out a new textbook and a return address label for the original book. It was also a great price. I will continue to purchase from .

Good.
