Focusing primarily on constitutional changes related to economic developments, individual rights, and executive power, chapters cover both formal revisions made through constitutional amendments, and informal--yet equally critical--changes resulting from Supreme Court decisions, executive actions by U.S. Presidents, and laws implemented by Congress. Readers will gain a thorough grasp of America's most treasured document as it has evolved through five distinct stages of U.S. history--the New Republic, the Slave Republic, the Free-Market Republic, the Social Welfare Republic, and the Contemporary Republic. The text is enhanced by brief chapter overviews of historic timeframes along with discussions of additional constitutional amendments. Reflecting the most up-to-date Supreme Court decisions at the close of the June 2015 term, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Constitutional History\u003c\/i\u003e offers illuminating insights into the origins and evolution of the longest lasting written constitution in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Fruchtman\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Program in Law and American Civilization at Towson University, Maryland.
