  • Reflects the evolution of constitutional changes all the way up to the conclusion of the June 2015 Supreme Court term


About the Author
Jack Fruchtman is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Program in Law and American Civilization at Towson University, Maryland.

Reviews

"First, the book is in a format that is readable. Second, the topics the book covers are arranged in such a manner that the reader gains insights into the historical developments that impacted the Constitution's evolution. And third, many students majoring in American politics focus on the legislative and executive branches, ignoring in large measure the critical role the judiciary had and has in American politics. This book fills that void and should be read by all students interested in a deeper understanding of American politics."
-M. DeRosa, Florida Atlantic University in CHOICE, March 2017

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
