Description
Setting it apart from other volumes on constitutional rights, the Sourcebook includes these features: a thorough introduction that explains how constitutional law and the courts work and reviews the history of the Constitution and the Supreme Court; coverage of recent cases spotlighting issues that receive intense media attention: affirmative action, drug testing, physician-assisted suicide, capital punishment, parental rights, hate crimes, and more; a rich cross-referencing structure that connects related entries within a given chapter as well as throughout the entire work, aiding readers who want to delve into all related facets of a case or concept; a "significance" section in case discussion entry that ties in historical background and other related cases; and a chapter devoted to defining and discussing terms related to constitutional law."--BOOK JACKET.
