The State of the Constitution—2017; Cases, Events and People that Shaped the Constitution from 2000 to 2016

This book is a great resource book that identifies and discusses the main court cases and government actions from 2000 to 2016 which have shaped the current state of the U. S. Constitution. A lot happened in this time period. Among other things, the book discusses key Supreme Court decisions, including calling CO₂ a pollutant; upholding a law requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance; legalizing same-sex marriage; and approving campaign finance reforms that impinge upon free speech. Many other actions and events that affect the Constitution are also discussed.
