The Impeachments of Donald Trump: An Introduction to Constitutional
Argument presents an accessible introduction to one of the nation's
most searing constitutional confrontations between the President
and Congress. The purpose of the book is two-fold: First, it
provides a curated record of a constitutional moment of
extraordinary importance in the history of modern democracy. As
such, it can be used by any instructor wishing to add interest to
constitutional law courses in or outside law schools, whether in
departments of history, political science, or legal studies.
Second, precisely because this event is important in understanding
modern democracy, the book is pitched at a wider audience than
standard legal texts, and can be used to teach the very basics of
legal argument--how lawyers reason about the constitution--to
undergraduates as well as first-year law students. Teaching
constitutional reasoning can pose great difficulties when students
are given ancient 18th-century materials with no apparent relevance
to pressing issues in modern memory. Throughout the book, students
are asked to consider the basic form of arguments in constitutional
law: text, history, past precedent, future precedent, and
democratic ethos. This book contributes to the growing literature
addressing democratic constitutionalism--constitutional reasoning
outside the courts. More importantly, it provides a lively--and
exciting--context in which to teach legal reasoning for
introductory courses on the Constitution.
