Details

Charting 250 years of history, the 8th edition of this constitutional companion shows students just how revolutionary the Constitution was-and how relevant it remains today.

After revisiting the key events leading to the Constitution's ratification, including the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention, this book explores the Constitution article by article, and amendment by amendment, to help readers better understand how each section of the document shapes the America we live in today.

The 8th edition illuminates how recent laws, political debates, and Supreme Court decisions are continually reshaping our understanding of the Constitution and its role in American life and society-including such issues as Donald Trump's immunity from prosecution for the January 6th riots, Mike Pence's role in certifying Electoral College votes, Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment to the Supreme Court, and the Dobbs decision, among other controversial developments.
