Estados Unidos. The Constitution and what it means today

"The present volume brings up to date through 1977 the controversies over the Constitutional imperatives with respect to such matters as capital punishment, abortion, the Exclusionary Rule and the Suppression Doctrine, the right to privacy, the First Amendment, the proposed Equal Right to Amendment, school integration, and affirmative action. The editors pay particular attention to changes in constitutional interpretation wrought by the Burger Court. With clarity and precision, they sort out and explicate the complicated issues of search and seizure, and of confessions and self-incrimination. In addition to a detailed topical index, over 1,500 cases are indexed in a separate table".
