American Constitutional Law: The Bill of Rights and Subsequent Amendments, Volume II (American Constitutional Law: The Bill of Rights & Subsequent Amendments (V2))
An excellent two-volume Constitutional Law case book with sophisticated introductions."Its greatest strengths are threefold. First, the case excerpts are ideal for undergraduate students who are being exposed to the reading of case law for the first time and who are not familiar with legal nomenclatureÂ… The second great virtue of the book is that the introductory sections of each chapter, which precede the case law, succinctly summarize the law, history, and politics related to the cases that students are about to encounter. These introductions do an excellent job setting the context for the case lawÂ… The third great virtue of the R & T text is that the editors do as good a job as any constitutional law text tying the case law to what the framers of the constitutional provisions at issue had to say. This allows students to understand the original meaning of the Constitution in a way they might seldom appreciate with other textbooks that disregard or object to such approaches to constitutional law.
