For undergraduate courses in Constitutional Law, Civil Rights & Liberties, Introduction to American Politics, Introduction to Law and Legal Process, and Judicial Process & Politics. Examining contemporary and perennial constitutional issues in civil liberties and rights, this text engages students in an exploration of how and why U.S. Supreme Court Justices have interpreted the provisions of the U.S. Constitution relating to freedom of expression and religion, and equal protection and privacy. Questions are posed, and each is followed by an essay answer that examines, in a thought-provoking manner, the variety of ways the Justices have responded in real cases. This second edition brings the book up-to-date with coverage of recent Court decisions relating to homosexual privacy rights, affirmative action and racial diversity, free speech and cross-burning, pornography over the internet, and the school voucher/religious freedom debate.
