The great liberties and guarantees of the United States Constitution are stated as general principles, able to be perpetuated and reapplied to meet the needs of a changing America. This book aims to provide a basic understanding of Constitutional law, addressing both the history of the U.S. Constitution and each of its individual clauses. It explains the awesome power of the Supreme Court, whereby a bare majority of five justices, each with lifetime tenure, can overrule the president, the Congress, and state and local governments--effectively declaring the rights and obligations of persons and organizations across the land. Referencing more than 850 Supreme Court decisions, the book treats each subject objectively and without opinionated commentary.
