Constitutional Rights: Cases in Context, 4th Edition, is a casebook that explores the historical development of American constitutional law since the Founding. The volume highlights recurring legal debates, foundational principles, and the competing narratives that shape constitutional jurisprudence.
The volume gathers more than 200 canonical decisions addressing essential individual protections. Major subjects include the Reconstruction Amendments, equal protection of the law, and rights safeguarded by the First Amendment.
The material is arranged into teachable, class-sized units suited for single-semester courses or programs with reduced credit hours. Innovative study guide questions placed before each case prompt students to focus on salient issues, evaluate judicial opinions from diverse perspectives, and analyze connections between decisions.
