The First Edition of State Constitutional Law: Cases and Principles provides a contemporary, authoritative treatment of the field. Developed by two of the subject’s leading experts, the book offers a fully national picture of the state constitutional topics it covers, complete with majority approaches and alternatives across the country. The book provides detailed treatments of the wide range of state constitutional issues—not only rights, but also government structure, democracy, fiscal provisions, and intrastate relations. The book emphasizes that state constitutions differ in important ways from the U.S. Constitution and are worth studying on their own terms, while also putting state constitutions in dialogue with their federal counterpart and exploring the role of state constitutions in a federal system. The book and accompanying teacher’s manual are designed to be engaging and accessible to first-time teachers and students of state constitutional law, while also offering notes, questions, and essays to challenge those who already have experience with state constitutional law.
