Publisher's Synopsis
"Political factors influence judicial decisions. Arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, the ebb and flow of public opinion, and especially the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices all combine to influence the development of constitutional doctrine. Constitutional Law for a Changing America draws on political science as well as legal studies to analyze and excerpt cases. With meticulous revising and updating throughout, Epstein and Walker streamlined material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship. The Eleventh Edition adds more coverage on freedom of speech through recent cases such as Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, freedom of religion through American Legion v. American Humanist Association, and a closer examination of one of the problems at the intersection of the Fourth Amendment and modern technology (Carpenter v. United States)"--.
