This book helps explain all of the amendments and is a good textbook for college. The only issue that I had with this book was that in the Second Amendment part of the book they state that no court has ruled in favor of individual rights vs. state rights. This was all changed with the District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. (2008) case. Where the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for private use. It was the first Supreme Court case in United States history to directly address whether the right to keep and bear arms is a right of individuals or a collective right that applies only to state-regulated militias. So essentially this changes one of the main points that the textbook was trying to make. Other than that I found the book to be quite interesting and a very easy read. I would recommend it to anybody that would like to learn more about the American Constitutional Laws. I just hope they update the book soon.

This text is one of the best one out there. I hope that you have a class using this book. It is well organized and provide much useful information for daily life.

This text is one of the best one out there. I hope that you have a class using this book. Provides much info that you can use. not hard to read through and understand at all.

really goes in depth with how and where our law system came from. Why it was written the way it was.

I am very satisfied with the item I purchased from this seller. I would be very comfortable ordering from them again. I received a very accurate description of the item, and it was shipped promptly.

I had a great experience with this item. They were very courteous in responding emails and explained throughly without just writing one or two words. I highly recommend to everyone and anyone. The shipping was super fast and the book seemed brand new when they said it was in "good" condition. They packaged the item nicely secured with a lot of bubble wrap to prevent much damage. I will shop again!! Thank you for your business.

This text was ok, a lot better written than most of the criminal justice texts I've had to study from. There are the basic land mark cases and some other related cases for each amendment, though I would have liked to see more on the first and second.
