Second, the topics the book covers are arranged in such a manner that the reader gains insights into the historical developments that impacted the Constitution s evolution. And third, many students majoring in American politics focus on the legislative and executive branches, ignoring in large measure the critical role the judiciary had and has in American politics. This book fills that void and should be read by all students interested in a deeper understanding of American politics.' - M.
