American Constitutional Law, Volume 1: Government Powers and
Democracy is a unique casebook that encourages citizens and
students of the Constitution to think critically about the
fundamental principles and policies of the American constitutional
order. In addition to its distinguished authorship, the book has
two prominent features that set it apart from other books in the
field: an emphasis on the social, political, and moral theory that
provides meaning to constitutional law and interpretation, and a
comparative perspective that situates the American experience
within a world context that serves as in invaluable prism through
which to illuminate the special features of our own constitutional
order. While the focus of the book is entirely on American
constitutional law, the book asks students to consider what, if
anything, is unique in American constitutional life and what we
share with other constitutional democracies. Each chapter is
preceded by an introductory essay that highlights these major
themes and also situates the cases in their proper historical and
political contexts. This new edition offers updated and expanded
treatment of a number of important and timely topics that have been
addressed by the Supreme Court in recent years. In addition to over
twenty new important Supreme Court cases and updated comparative
materials that reflect recent global trends and developments, this
new edition welcomes two new and distinguished contributors, George
Thomas, of Claremont McKenna, and Justin Dyer, of the University of
Missouri. Building on the unique strengths of earlier editions, it
also features updated and lively essays that situate the Court's
work, and that of other constitutional institutions, in their
larger normative, institutional, and comparative context.
