Product Description In American Constitutionalism, Second Edition, renowned authors Howard Gillman, Mark A. Graber, and Keith E. Whittington offer an innovative approach to the two semester Constitutional Law sequence ( Volume 1 covers Institutions and Volume II covers Rights and Liberties) that presents the material in a historical organization within each volume, as opposed to the typical issues based organization. Looking at Supreme Court decisions historically provides an opportunity for instructors to teach and students to reflect on the political factions and climate of the day. The second edition has been streamlined and also features updated cases, analysis, illustrations, and figures.

It goes beyond other texts by including not only important Supreme Court cases, but also materials illustrating that constitutional development is the product of interactions between many individuals and institutions."--Paul Nolette, Marquette University "The historical approach of American Constitutionalism is excellent. It has encouraged me to completely rethink my course with attention to changes in our regime over time. Equally excellent is the inclusion of influential constitutional statements from congressional floor debates and presidential addresses."--Stewart Gardner, Boise State University About the Author Howard Gillman is Chancellor of the University of and Professor of Law, Political Science, and History at the University of California, Irvine.
