Abstract:
"Constitutional Law is in an era of significant doctrinal and methodological change. ... [Revisions] in this edition take account of this reality in two main ways. First, in drafting answers to the questions, we note when the Supreme Court has signaled that a specific constitutional law doctrine or test may change. ... Second, when the Supreme Court adopts a history-based test for an area of constitutional law, we do not discuss how that test might apply to new issues that might arise. ... More generally, this book is written for students taking the basic survey course in Constitutional Law. In drafting questions, we have pitched the breadth, depth, and level of difficulty to those studying the subject for the first time."-- Preface
