This concise, accessible text provides students with a history of
American constitutional development in the context of political,
economic, and social change. Constitutional historian Michael
Benedict stresses the role that the American people have played
over time in defining the powers of government and the rights of
individuals and minorities. He covers important trends and events
in U.S. constitutional history, encompassing key Supreme Court and
lower-court cases. The volume begins by discussing the English and
colonial origins of American constitutionalism. Following an
analysis of the American Revolution's meaning to constitutional
history, the text traces the Constitution's evolution from the
Early Republic to the present day. This third edition is updated to
include the election of 2000, the Tea Party and the rise of popular
constitutionalism, and the rise of judicial supremacy as seen in
cases such as Citizens United, the Affordable Care Act, and gay
marriage.
