| It Is So Ordered: A Constitution Unfolds by William Morrow&Co Anectdotal yet informative. | | I am a High School American Government teacher who likes to focus some significant portions of my class on Constitutional issues. I picked up this book thinking it would be a great help to my students, but it also turned out to be a help to me. The book is surprisingly entertaining and an easy read, unlike many of Burger's opinions written for the Supreme Court. He focuses on many the the key cases that have changed and defined the Constitution as we know it today. He is able to put an interesting slant on cases such as Dred Scott and explain them in a refreshing way. He does, however, omit some other key cases that are important also. Taking on a project of this magnitude cannot be covered in one book, so it is advisable that readers read other works that also tackle the issue. On the whole, the book is a good primer to new students on Constitutional Law and to Legal Buffs looking for a fairly lightweight read. | | It Is So Ordered: A Constitution Unfolds by William Morrow&Co Anectdotal yet informative. | | I am a High School American Government teacher who likes to focus some significant portions of my class on Constitutional issues.
