Designed to help students understand the
Constitution in all of its splendor and subtlety, this book introduces
key events of the founding era, the Declaration of Independence, and the
proceedings of the Constitutional Convention. The Constitution and its
amendments are explored section by section, along with pertinent
historical events, laws, and cases.
Since the Third Edition
was published in 2001, we have witnessed another presidential election,
a second war with Iraq, significant Supreme Court cases on privacy, the
death penalty, affirmative action, searches and seizures, and, perhaps
most significantly, a series of developments related to America's
response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In addition, Justice Sandra
Day O'Connor has announced her intention to resign. This new edition
encompasses all of these developments.
The Fourth Edition
is the first to be thoroughly revised in its entirety, rather than
merely updated. The language has been made even more accessible,
rendering this an ideal starting point for students, as well as new
citizens, who may be unfamiliar with constitutional law, American
politics, or American history. Those already familiar with
constitutional issues will be able to make use of the book as a
reference guide to landmarks in constitutional history and development.
Each chapter concludes with a bibliography of key books and cases useful
for further study. The book includes a glossary; the texts of the
Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the
Constitution; and a section on how to locate cases and understand
citations. Fifty leading cases are briefly described. Finally, the book
includes two all-new sections, Highlights in Constitutional History and
U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
