HIST 330 - Constitutional History and Politics

3 hours
This course will examine the history and politics behind various different (and continuing) interpretations of the U.S. Constitution. This will include studying the origin and development of the Supreme Court and the judicial branch itself, as well as how important decisions by the Supreme Court, made in response to different political and social and legal crises, have profoundly changed our country’s approach to religion, morality, citizenship, crime, free speech, relations between state and national governments, and so forth.
