DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Constitutionalism in the United States is not determined solely by decisions made by the Supreme Court. Rather, a robust and meaningful understanding of American Constitutionalism requires a consideration of the historical and political context in which the Supreme Court delivers its rulings. With this premise as a point of departure, renowned legal scholars Howard Gillman, Mark A. Graber, and Keith E. Whittington move beyond traditional casebooks and take a refreshingly innovative approach to the study of Constitutional Law in American Constitutionalism Volumes I and II. Organized according to the standard two-semester Constitutional Law sequence, Volume I covers "Structures of Government" and Volume II covers "Rights and Liberties."

As such, the new edition of American Constitutionalism Volumes I and II will include full coverage of major Supreme Court cases, decisions, and their political contexts through 2020, including coverage of the Obama and Trump administrations"--
