{"product_id":"the-fourteenth-amendment-warrior","title":"The Fourteenth Amendment Warrior","description":"The Fourteenth Amendment rewrote the Constitution. Ratified in 1868 after the bloodiest war in American history, it established national citizenship, incorporated the Bill of Rights against the states, guaranteed equal protection of the laws, prohibited deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process, and gave Congress power to enforce these guarantees through appropriate legislation. No provision of the Constitution has generated more consequential litigation — or more contested doctrine — in the century and a half since its ratification. \n\nThe Fourteenth Amendment Warrior: The Complete Guide to Equal Protection, Due Process, Civil Rights, and the Constitutional Guarantee of Equal Justice is Volume XIII of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to the amendment that is simultaneously the foundation of civil rights law, the source of incorporated constitutional rights, and the most contested battleground in contemporary constitutional litigation. \n\nWayne Richard Evangelista covers the complete Fourteenth Amendment landscape: the Equal Protection Clause and its tiered scrutiny framework — strict scrutiny for race, national origin, and alienage; intermediate scrutiny for sex and illegitimacy; rational basis with and without bite for economic classifications; the animus doctrine from Romer through Windsor to Dobbs; and the discriminatory purpose requirement of Arlington Heights. He then covers substantive due process — the doctrine's controversial origins in Lochner, its mid-century development from Meyer and Pierce through Griswold and Lawrence, and the Glucksberg history-and-tradition test that now governs after Dobbs. Procedural due process receives complete treatment under the Mathews v. Eldridge framework. And Section 5 enforcement power — its scope and limits after City of Boerne and Kimel — closes the volume. \n\nFor every civil rights practitioner, every constitutional litigator, and every advocate for equal justice, this is the essential reference.","brand":"Constitutional Law Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55690785652809,"sku":"68dqzp","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/0896\/4937\/files\/jemg2ke-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1779136960","url":"https:\/\/constitutionallawseries.myshopify.com\/products\/the-fourteenth-amendment-warrior","provider":"The largest single-author Federal Law Library ever published.
