Free Downloads The Supreme Court; Twelfth Edition
In successive chapters, the book examines each major aspect of the Court: the selection, backgrounds, and departures of justices; the creation of the Court's agenda; the decision-making process and the factors that shape the Court's decisions; the substance of the Court's policies; and the Court's impact on government and American society. With the new edition, the book gives particular attention to current developments in the Court, including the Court's role in shaping national policy on such issues as same-sex marriage, campaign finance, and health care. In addition, it examines the impact on the Court of the growing polarization that has reshaped politics in the United States. Describing the Court's personalities and procedures, and delving deeply to explain the actions of the Court and the behaviour of justices, Baum shows students the Court's complexity and reach. Tables and figures, plus a lively photo program, make this one of the most engaging books available. It is simply the standard.
