Understanding Constitutional Issues Selections from The Cq Researcher

Understanding Constitutional Issues focuses on four key themes-governmental powers and structure, security, liberty, and equality-to help students and citizens develop a deeper understanding of the relation between current events and constitutional issues and principles. Integrating seventeen CQ Researcher reports, Understanding Constitutional Issues makes important connections clear, such as those between redistricting and governmental powers and structure; civil liberties and security; and privacy and liberty. The volume includes several of the reports that won the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award. An introductory essay sets the stage, ranging from the Constitutional Convention to contemporary events. Each of the four thematic sections begins with its own essay, weaving the related topics together as well as tying them into relevant concepts in the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution and an index round out the volume.CQ Press Staff is the author of 'Understanding Constitutional Issues Selections from The Cq Researcher', published 2004 under ISBN 9781568028859 and ISBN 1568028857.
