Though the shortest single-document constitution in the world, the US Constitution has bound our nation together since 1789. The Constitution and the term "constitutional" are bandied about in the media a lot, but many people don't even know what's in the document. Readers of this book will discover its content, article by article, as well as look at the Bills of Rights and other amendments. Fun facts enliven the text, and sidebars delve into lesser-known constitutional issues

This Companion provides a broad, historically informed introduction to the study of the US constitutional system. In place of the usual laundry lists of cases, doctrines, and theories, it presents a picture of the constitutional system in action, with separate sections devoted to constitutional principles, organizational structures, and the various legal and extra-legal 'actions' through which litigators and average citizens have attempted to bring about constitutional change. Finally, the volume covers a number of subjects that are rarely discussed in works aimed at a general audience, but which are critical to ensuring that constitutional rights are honored in the day-to-day lives of citizens. These include standing and causes of action, suits against officeholders, and the inner workings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). This Companion places present-day constitutional controversies in historical context, and offers insights from a range of disciplines, including history, political science, and law.
