SynopsisConstitutional Law and Politics does more than give students a comprehensive and up-to-date set of cases; it provides the tools needed to make sense of them. Silverstein's contextualization of cases makes it easier for students to understand complicated decisions, engage with the field of American constitutional law, and succeed in the course. Silverstein includes recent landmark cases, such as Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee narrowing the application of the Voting Rights Act and Bostock v. Clayton County Georgia, which expands the scope of protections against discrimination on the basis of sex to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Twelfth Edition also will grapple with the Court's ruling in the Mississippi abortion case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade., The Twelfth Edition of David O'Brien and Gordon Silverstein's highly successful casebook continues to bring innovative content and a flexible format to the teaching of constitutional law. Building on the idea that Supreme Court decisions are not made in a vacuum, O'Brien and Silverstein present students with the historical and political back-ground behind landmark and key recent cases. This text offers the most extensive anthology of Court rulings, including many concurring and dissenting opinions. Each volume includes special features that take students behind the scenes and help them understand key decisions. The Twelfth Edition offers several revised features and thoroughly updated cases and introductions, including coverage of landmark cases Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Biden v. Mossouri, and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.
