Texas has created more constitutional law than any other state. In
any classroom nationwide, any basic constitutional law course can
be taught using nothing but Texas cases. That, however, understates
the history and politics behind the cases. Beyond representing all
doctrinal areas of constitutional law, Texas cases deal with the
major issues of the nation. Leading legal scholar and Supreme Court
historian Lucas A. Powe, Jr., charts the rich and pervasive
development of Texas-inspired constitutional law. From voting
rights to railroad regulations, school finance to capital
punishment, poverty to civil liberties, this wide-ranging and
eminently readable book provides a window into the relationship
between constitutional litigation and ordinary politics at the
Supreme Court, illuminating how all of the fiercest national
divides over what the Constitution means took shape in Texas.
