Description:

The purpose of this class is to teach about the U.S. Constitution by focusing on the key cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. We start with a brief overview of the constitution itself--how and why this landmark document is organized as it is. We pay special attention to provisions that are more closely relevant to Court decisions. The big issues include privacy and abortion rights, freedom of speech and religion, presidential power, and gun rights. If you’re curious about connecting our courts with our constitution, please join this informative class.
