American Constitutional Law, Volume I

This treatise on constitutional law is organized around issues, or constitutional functions, rather than being a sequential discussion of the text to the Constitution. Professor Tribe provides analysis of constitutional law doctrine and policy. The text is heavily footnoted with references to treatises, law review articles, the U.S. Code, and Supreme Court cases. It concentrates on the Constitution’s provisions for government structure and on how constitutional structure helps guarantee protection of substantive rights and liberties.
