Great Cases in Constitutional Law by Robert P George
Slavery, segregation, abortion, workers' rights, and the power of the courts have been the greatest constitutional controversies in American history. This work explains how five Supreme Court cases centered on those controversies shaped the country's destiny. It explores the Supreme Court's importance to America's social and political life.
"This book provides an excellent overview of landmark Supreme Court Cases, most of which impacted the court's power and direction"--Booklist "A collection of scholarly but accessible essays... The principal essays range in style from professorial disputation to impassioned moral advocacy... [This] volume thoughtfully explains the views of those who advocate more of the original Constitution, and less of the Supreme Court, in American political life."--Publishers Weekly "All essays provide interesting insight into the concepts of judicial review and judicial activism... [An] excellent book... I highly recommend it to all."--Ruth Ann Wary, Law and Politics Book Review
