This classic collection of carefully selected and edited Supreme Court case excerpts and comprehensive background essays explores constitutional law and the role of the Supreme Court in its development and interpretation. Well-grounded in both theory and politics, it displays the role of the U.S. Supreme Court as a legal and political institution and as a major player in American government. The volume examines and presents supporting cases regarding jurisdiction and organization of the federal courts, the constitution, the supreme court, and judicial review, congress and the president, federalism, the electoral process, the commerce clause, national taxing and spending power, property rights and the development of due process, nationalization of the bill of rights, criminal justice, freedom of expression, protest and symbolic speech, freedom of association, freedom of press, religious liberty, privacy, equal protection of the laws, and security and freedom in wartime.

I read the book and it was very informative. However, I didn’t retain any of the great literature and sadly I now have a fairly lengthy criminal record. It’s hard to find good work and my family has shunned me, but I always find solace within the poetic words of this book.

I use this book for my US Civil Liberties class and I think this is a great book. There a tons of interesting cases and they are edited in a way that it is not impossible to read and understand. I think it is a great book to learn about this subject.

The item took longer to receive than anticipated. It also arrived in only fair condition, not as rated as "good". Pages missing and falling out. Not as expected. Return policy was difficult to locate.
