Summary

"In Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Institutional Powers and Constraints, bestselling authors Lee Epstein, Kevin T. McGuire, and Thomas G.

The Twelfth Edition, updated with additional material such as recent court rulings, more than 500 supplemental cases, and greater coverage of executive, legislative, and judicial power, facilitates a deeper understanding of how the U.S. Constitution defines what institutions can and cannot do."-- Provided by publisher.
