Constitutional Law and Politics: Struggles for Power and Governmental Accountability (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780393893519)

Constitutional Law and Politics does more than give students a comprehensive and up-to-date set of cases; it provides the tools needed to make sense of them. Silverstein's contextualization of cases makes it easier for students to understand complicated decisions, engage with the field of American constitutional law, and succeed in the course. Silverstein includes recent landmark cases, such as Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee narrowing the application of the Voting Rights Act and Bostock v. Clayton County Georgia, which expands the scope of protections against discrimination on the basis of sex to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Twelfth Edition also will grapple with the Court's ruling in the Mississippi abortion case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade.
