{"product_id":"the-constitution-in-practice","title":"The Constitution In Practice","description":"The Constitution was ratified in 1789. What happened next is the story this volume tells. The Constitution in Practice traces the transformation of America's founding document from a spare framework of government into the living, contested, enormously consequential body of law that governs every aspect of American life today. \n\nWayne Richard Evangelista walks the constitutional warrior through every major era of constitutional development: the Marshall Court's establishment of judicial review and national power; the antebellum collapse that produced Dred Scott; the Reconstruction revolution of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments; the Progressive Era and the rise of the regulatory state; the New Deal constitutional revolution; the Warren Court's reconstruction of individual rights from Brown through Miranda; the Burger and Rehnquist Court retreats; and the Roberts Court's ongoing originalist transformation that has produced Heller, Dobbs, Bruen, Students for Fair Admissions, Loper Bright, and Trump v. United States. \n\nFor the constitutional warrior, this historical depth is not background — it is the foundation of every argument. Understanding why the Court held what it held in landmark cases, understanding the intellectual forces and political pressures that shaped doctrine, understanding how precedent is made and unmade — this is the knowledge that distinguishes constitutional advocates from case-citters. \n\nThe Constitution in Practice delivers that knowledge in the clear, practitioner-grade prose that defines the entire Constitutional Law Series. Essential reading for every constitutional lawyer and every informed citizen who wants to understand the law under which they live.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55688465088585,"sku":"wx2yyn","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/0896\/4937\/files\/7kdvjrm-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1778970157","url":"https:\/\/constitutionallawseries.myshopify.com\/products\/the-constitution-in-practice","provider":"Federal Practice Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
