by William H. Hartley William S. VincentHave you ever heard the term American Dream? The United States is built on this dream--the hope of a better life for everyone. This dream has been shared by millions of people who have believed that in this nation all men and women could truly be free. It is a dream that began in colonial times and continues to draw thousands of people to the United States each year. For many people the American Dream has meant freedom from religious persecution. For others it has meant freedom from political upheavals and wars. For still others it has meant freedom to achieve economic success. As an American, you have the freedom to pursue your own American Dream, whatever it may be. But the American Dream will remain a reality only as long as you, and all Americans, work to protect our precious heritage of freedom. This is your responsibility as an American citizen--a member of our nation.

American Constitutional Interpretation (University Casebook Series)
by Sotirios A. Barber James E. Fleming Walter F. Murphy Stephen J. MacedoThis text uses original essays, cases, and materials to study the very enterprise by which a constitution is interpreted and a constitutional government created. It explores the American polity as both a constitutional and democratic entity. This volume is organized around a set of basic interrogatives: What is the constitution that is to be interpreted? Who are its authoritative interpreters? How should they go about their interpretive tasks? The new edition has been updated to include important new cases decided through June 2018, including Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra. To maintain brevity, the authors have removed a number of cases from the casebook and placed them on the accompanying website.
American Constitutional Law
by Louis Fisher Katy HarrigerThis book, in addition to analyzing and including excerpts of court decisions, highlights the efforts of legislatures, executives, the states, and the general public to participate in an ongoing political dialogue about the meaning of the Constitution. It therefore rejects the idea that elected leaders and the public must passively receive and obey a series of unilateral and final judicial commands. The book covers all new developments in case law, congressional statutes, presidential policies, and initiatives undertaken by states under their own constitutions. Included are readings not only from cases but congressional floor debates, committee reports, committee hearings, presidential vetoes and statements, opinions of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department, state activity, Federalist papers, and professional journals. After introductory chapters on constitutional politics, the doctrine of judicial review, threshold requirements, judicial organization, and the process and strategy of decision making, the book focuses on these substantive areas: separation of powers (domestic and foreign affairs), federal-state relations, economic liberties, free speech and free press, religious freedom, due process, search and seizure, race, equal protection, privacy, and political participation. The book concludes with a chapter on efforts to curb the Supreme Court. Professors may choose between the one-volume casebound book or two paperbacks: Volume 1 on ''Constitutional Structures: Separated Powers and Federalism,'' and Volume 2 on ''Constitutional Rights: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.''
