Description

Texas has created more constitutional law than some other state. In any classroom nationwide, any basic constitutional law course will also be taught the usage of nothing but Texas cases. That, alternatively, understates the history and politics in the back of the cases. Beyond representing all doctrinal areas of constitutional law, Texas cases handle the major issues of the nation. Leading legal scholar and Supreme Court historian Lucas A. Powe, Jr., charts the wealthy and pervasive development of Texas-inspired constitutional law. From voting rights to railroad regulations, school finance to capital punishment, poverty to civil liberties, this wide-ranging and eminently readable book provides a window into the relationship between constitutional litigation and strange politics on the Supreme Court, illuminating how all the fiercest national divides over what the Constitution means took shape in Texas.
