The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Constitutional Law presents
an accessible introduction to the enduring topics of American
constitutional law, including judicial review, methods of
interpretation, federalism, separation of powers, equal protection,
and individual liberties.
One of the most important functions performed by the American
Constitution and the more than two centuries' worth of cases
interpreting it is the allocation of decision-making. Professor
Dorf and Professor Morrison frame many of these constitutional
debates with this question of authority. When should courts rule
that the Constitution takes some issue outside of the domain of
ordinary politics? Should courts referee disputes between the
branches of the federal government? Should they referee disputes
between the states and the national government? Using what
standards?
This introduction to American constitutional law critically
examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States, which
has resolved thousands of constitutional controversies based on the
shortest national constitution on the planet. The authors also look
beyond the Supreme Court, exploring the arguments for and against
judicial review and various versions of popular constitutionalism.
