Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Rights, Liberties, and JusticeExploring the full range of civil rights and liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Rights, Liberties, and Justice has been updated throughout to include Supreme Court decisions handed down through June 2000 and to take into account recent events in the legal and political environment.
