The United States Constitution: Creation, Reconstruction, the
Progressives, and the Modern Era (1st ed. 2020), is the most
complete, historically grounded, and originalist and textualist
casebook account of the original Constitution, Reconstruction
Amendments, and modern constitutional developments. The book
contains unique background on the drafting and ratification of the
Constitution that puts all subsequent doctrinal developments into
context. It follows the text of the Constitution, starting with the
Preamble and ending with the Twenty-Seventh Amendment, containing
material on literally every clause in between - which,
astonishingly, is done by no other casebook. It provides the
historical evolution of important areas of doctrine without
sacrificing coverage of modern law. And, given the Supreme Court's
recent and likely continuing turn towards originalism, the book
contains extensive treatment of original meaning by two of the
academy's leading originalist theorists, while also providing ample
material on the many other modalities of interpretation that drive
constitutional doctrine. Furthermore, this casebook delves deeply
into the separation of powers, federalism, and Reconstruction, with
an historical and theoretical focus that no other book can match.
The casebook is co-written by two former Scalia clerks, Steven Gow
Calabresi and Gary Lawson. Both authors are highly accomplished
scholars who have published numerous university press books, law
review articles and casebooks. They know how a casebook differs
from a university press book or a law review article, and this
makes their casebook very user-friendly. This new edition also
takes account of the two newest appointees to the Supreme Court,
Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, and is thus up to date on Supreme
Court case law as it stood when the Supreme Court adjourned in the
summer of 2019.
