Constitutional Law: National Power and Federalism features straightforward and informal text that is never simplistic. Its unique, time-tested “Examples and Explanations” pedagogy combines textual material with well-written and comprehensive examples, explanations, and questions to test students’ comprehension and provide practice in applying information to fact patterns. The questions (in which there are often a variety of issues in play) are similar to those on a law school or bar examination. A problem-oriented guide takes students through the principal doctrines of constitutional law that are covered in a typical course. Constitutional Law: National Power and Federalism is designed to help students think about the larger issues of constitutional law with both depth and perception. Part of a two-volume set (with a corresponding text on Individual Rights,) these books compose a foundation in the doctrines and methods of constitutional law and constitutional argument. The organization parallels and complements any major constitutional law casebook. Legal concepts and principles appear in easily-digestible sections, followed by examples and analysis that illustrate how to apply them in hypothetical situations. That comes from the strong authorship, as these authors have more than sixty years combined experience teaching Constitutional Law.
