Constitutional Law puts students at the intersection of law, politics, and history, as they examine the relationship between the individual and the state and the basic social contract principles that govern that relationship. In Constitution Law I, we explore themes of judicial review, theories of constitutional interpretation, as well as the structure of the state, and the working of the branches of government.  In Constitutional Law II, we focus on individual rights, including the rights to due process and equal protection, and examine the standards for determining when government actions constitute permissible or impermissible intrusions on these rights.
