Cases and Materials on Constitutional Law, Themes for the Constitution's Third Century, 5th (American Casebook)

With its distinctive focus on both original meaning and modern social movements, this new edition presents a unique perspective on the constitutional law of equal protection, privacy, due process, freedom of expression and religion, federalism, and separation of powers. The authors provide an in-depth treatment of the affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion debates, as well as recent Supreme Court decisions upholding the health care law, striking down the Arizona immigration law, and setting limits on executive action in the war on terror. As in previous editions, this edition presents exciting doctrinal and theoretical debates in an accessible manner.
