Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Rights, Liberties, and Justice by Lee Epstein

Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Rights, Liberties, and Justice by Lee Epstein

In Constitutional Law for a Changing America, you will learn about how political factors such as arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, public opinion, and the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices influence judicial decisions and the development of constitutional doctrine. Bestselling authors Lee Epstein, Kevin T. McGuire and Thomas G. Walker draw on both political science and legal studies to analyze and excerpt cases and account for recent landmark court decisions and new scholarship, including key opinions handed down through the 2020 term.

Updated with additional material such as recent court rulings, more than 500 supplemental cases, and greater coverage of freedom of expression, this Eleventh Edition will develop your understanding of how the U.S. Constitution protects civil rights and liberties.
