In this new edition of the standard text in the field of American constitutional history; Herman Belz has brought the most up-to-date scholarship to bear on discussions from the adoption of the Constitution through the retirement of Justice Brennan and the confirmation of David Scouter to the U.S. Supreme Court.The hallmarks of this authoritative text have been strengthened throughout: its clear exposition of judicial rulings and their significance; its even-handed discussion of larger trends in American constitutional history; and a broad approach that brings politics and social developments to bear on constitutional cases.The Seventh Edition also takes account of major constitutional developments of the 1980s: the constitutional implications of divided government-the situation in which rival parties respectively control the presidency and the Congress; the controversies over abortion; affirmative action; and issues of free speech; the general debate over original intent and constitutional change.

Just rented it (thank goodness) otherwise I would have burned it in the backyard. It is very biased; but if you can get passed the authors opinions and political agenda; there is some good information present.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DeceivedBy sara saadiI first was very satisfied but they really deceived me when I was trying to extend the rental. I didn't finish my class yet so I need to extend the rental but they ask me to purchase it while I ve already paid for the rental. Now the book is no longer available in kindle e-book. Thats so cheap from you.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Melinda6701Serves its purpose.
