Processes of Constitutional Decision Making: Cases And Materials

2 reviews
Reva B. Siegel, Jack M. Balkin, ...

Aspen Publishers, Inc., 2006

Constitutional or Unconstitutional - Explained
An excellent analysis of how the Justices of the Supreme Court decide whether or not a law (created by Congress or the States) is valid or not. More than just a compilation of majority, concurring and dissenting opinions, this book looks at why the decisions were made, not just what the decisions were. Well worth the money and a fine addition to the library of anyone interested in law or ...

America's Constitution: A Biography

Akhil Reed Amar

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006

A must read.
Wow, I learned more about the consitution then I ever could have imagined. I didn't have any idea about many of the themes and debates over the constitution and it's amendments. I'm a novice at political thinking, before the presidential campaign I could've care less about politics. Some of this is a bit over my head since I don't have a background in law or political history. However, Mr. Amar ...

The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction

25 reviews
Akhil Reed Amar

Yale University Press, 2000

FANTASTIC!!!
I saw Amar on PBS, read his book on the history of the Constitution, and was thus driven to read The Bill of Rights. Being neither an attorney nor historian, I still found this to be an excellent read. I suspect that Amar could craft a listing a postal zip codes into an enthralling book. Of course, the creation of constitutional law is a topic that sells itself (at least to me)... He uses a ...

The Constitution and Criminal Procedure: First Principles

1 review
Akhil Reed Amar

Yale University Press, 1998

Lays out criminal procedure for lay persons and lawyers
Akhil Amar, a distinguished law professor at Yale University, has written a very accessible book that discusses what's wrong with criminal procedure today. Most people tend to think that the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments protect the guilty far more than society. For example, under the Exclusionary Rule, courts must suppress evidence that is obtained unlawfully, even if the suppression ...

More highlighting than expected
I understand this is a used book and expected a minimal amount of highlighting, as indicated in the posting, but it seemed like there was a lot more than advertised

For the People: What the Constitution Really Says About Your Rights

4 reviews
Akhil Reed Amar, Alan R. Hirsch

Touchstone, 1999

A fine study of the constitution for general readers.
For The People is an ideal book for the general reader with an interest in the Constitution as a living document. Focusing on several topics of current interest (including gays in the military, the right to bear arms, and the jury system) the authors offer a look both at the intentions of the founding fathers and the subsequent historical developments which have influenced our reading of the ...
