Constitutional Freedoms is an undergraduate text for courses in civil rights and liberties. It covers most of the subject areas of other undergraduate texts, although it rearranges some in ways that are more conducive to student learning. The major difference is that freedoms of speech and press are treated together as aspects of communication, rather than separately because so distinguished in the US Constitution. The book includes sections on Supreme Court procedure, methods of interpretation, and tests for unconstitutionality, as well as information about experiential learning opportunities for students.
