The second edition of The Law of American State Constitutions
provides complete coverage of the legal doctrines surrounding,
applying to, and arising from American state constitutions and
their judicial interpretation. Drawing on examples from specific
states, Professors Williams and Friedman analyze the nature and
function of state constitutions in contrast to the federal
Constitution, including rights, separation of powers, issues of
interpretation, and the processes for amendment and revision. In
this edition, Williams and Friedman focus on recent developments,
including the state constitutional dimensions of same-sex marriage
and the reaction of state courts to U.S. Supreme Court decision
making. This edition of The Law of American State Constitutions
remains an important analytical tool that explains the unique
character and the range of interpretive approaches to these
constitutions. It covers the structure of state governments under
state constitutions as well as the distribution of powers among the
legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Like the first
edition, this edition presents a complete picture of state
constitutional law and the attributes and features that make this
body of law so distinctive.
