Appendix: The Constitution of the United States of America
The sixth edition of the casebook, which is suitable either for a one- or two-semester course, strives to make constitutional law easily teachable and readily accessible for students.

Text boxes call the students' attention to important aspects of each opinion, and the book is filled with introductions, points for discussion, hypotheticals, and executive summaries. The authors present a diversity
of views on every subject, and, reflecting some of their own disagreements, the authors have written point-counterpoint discussions on many disputed questions
