Filled with additional supporting materialâ€•photographs of the litigants, sidebars comparing the U.S. with other nations, and "Aftermath" boxes that tell the stories of the partiesâ€² lives after the Supreme Court has actedâ€•the text encourages greater student engagement with the material and a more complete understanding of the American constitution.
