Political science majors and future practicing lawyers alike will appreciate this "historical institutional " context, seeing the law as a vital part of the political process. They will see how the Constitution and the courts are influenced by politics, how other factors and players shape the law beyond the Supreme Court, and how history is in turn a struggle for constitutional authority. And they are reinforced and challenged at every step by bulleted summaries, questions, and other pedagogy not found in any other text.
· Each volume proceeds chronologically, with extensive historical background and with consistent topical structure from chapter to chapter, to stress how the law has developed over time, within the politics and culture of its age. Each volume thus ends with current controversies.
· Additional documents beyond Supreme Court cases make the book more comprehensive, historical, and vivid - from great speeches (by Daniel Webster, Abraham Lincoln, and others) and presidential vetoes to issues and controversies today.
· Extensive historical introductions precede each chapter's cases.
· Many examples make the struggle for constitutional authority vivid, from Marbury v. Madison to the New Deal and today.
· Chapter 1 introduces critical questions right away: What is the Constitution, who interprets it, and how does it change?
· Chapter 1 also introduces comparative governments early.
· Many more readings are available in the package online.
· Of course, three stellar scholars are our authors, and their excerpting and editing of readings is a itself a major feature.
· Yet additional readings, as well as full cases, are on the companion Web site.
There is, quite simply, more pedagogy and art than in other books:
· Main sections open with bulleted Major Developments.
· Questions at end of each headnote encourage critical thinking.
· Notes explicate court decisions. Chapters end with further readings.
· Historical images and maps add unique interest.
· A case study in the introductory chapter integrates constitutional issues into history, (tentatively "The Negro Seamen's Act ").
· An appendix on doing legal research and reading court cases helps students with the methodology of political science.
· Again, an alternate table of contents adds flexibility, as a correlation guide.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
