Download Making Sense of the Constitution: A Primer on the Supreme Court and Its Struggle to Apply Our Fundamental Law AudioBook Free
Walter Frank tackles, in a comprehensive but lively manner, subjects hardly ever treated in one quantity. Aiming at both standard listener and students of politics science, legislation, or background, Frank begins with a short discussion of the nature of constitutional legislation and why the Court divides so strongly on many issues. He then proceeds to an analysis of the Constitution and following amendments, placing them in their historical context. Next, Frank shifts to the Supreme Court and its decisions, examining doctrinal trends, the Court's decision making procedures, how justices interact with each other, and the controversy over how the Constitution should be interpreted. The work concludes with a detailed analysis of Court decisions in six major regions of continuing controversy, including abortion, affirmative action, and plan finance. The reserve is posted by Southern Illinois University Press.
