The proper role of the government operating in a free society and
regulating an individual's behavior is a subject that can provoke
heated political debate. There is an ongoing discussion among the
nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court about the fundamental
values that are reflected in the words of the Bill of Rights. If we
contrast the interpretation of the Bill of Rights presented by the
Earl Warren Court four decades ago with the more recent decisions
handed down by the Rehnquist and Roberts Court, we cannot avoid the
conclusion that there has been a substantial change in the rights
enjoyed by Americans. In referring to these changes, Justice
Stephen Breyer recently wrote: "It is not often in the law that so
few have so quickly changed so much." In The Bill of Rights Today,
attorney and political scientist Joseph Dillon Davey examines the
most controversial cases handed down by the Supreme Court and shows
how the issues involved in these cases have profound implications
for American society. Davey emphasizes the most controversial
issues being faced by the High Court today and challenges our
perspective on the role the Supreme Court Justice plays in
determining the extent society will continue to enjoy the freedoms
outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
