This course ranges widely from the constitutional convention in 1787 to the present, but most of the course focuses on the 20th century. Key topics are: federalism and diversity, free speech and diversity, religious freedom and diversity, and affirmative action and diversity. Students will be exposed to all sides of the key debates. The course is not designed to promote specific viewpoints. Special attention will be paid to the transformation of legal language over time and the manner in which social values enter into constitutional argumentation.
