A selection of the landmark Supreme Court decisions that have
shaped American society
Penguin presents a series of six portable, accessible, and--above
all--essential reads from American political history, selected by
leading scholars. Series editor Richard Beeman, author of "The
Penguin Guide to the U.S. Constitution," draws together the great
texts of American civic life, including the founding documents,
pivotal historical speeches, and important Supreme Court decisions,
to create a timely and informative mini-library of perennially
vital issues.
The Supreme Court is one of America's leading expositors of and
participants in debates about American values. Legal expert Jay M.
Feinman introduces and selects some of the most important "Supreme
Court Decisions" of all time, which touch on the very foundations
of American society. These cases cover a vast array of issues, from
the powers of government and freedom of speech to freedom of
religion and civil liberties. Feinman offers commentary on each
case and excerpts from the opinions of the Justices that show the
range of debate in the Supreme Court and its importance to civil
society. Among the cases included will be "Marbury v. Madison," on
the supremacy of the Constitution and the power of judicial review;
"U.S. v. Nixon," on separation of powers; and "Hamdi v. Rumsfeld,"
a post-9/11 case on presidential power and due process.
