PO 333V The Supreme Court and the Constitution (3)
This course traces the origins, functions, and transformation of the Supreme Court from the somewhat unwanted stepchild of government to the supreme arbiter of constitutionalism that it has become. Topics covered include constitutional doctrines, the political elements of the Supreme Court, separation of powers, federalism, the nationalization of the Bill of Rights, freedom of expression, privacy, and equal protection under the law. Both scholarly analysis and Supreme Court decisions are used to elaborate concepts and issues.
