内容説明
The twelfth edition has been updated and revised in several important ways. Most importantly, a renewed focus on student engagement and classroom discussion has informed this new edition. Moreover, the twelfth edition has been thoroughly updated to anticipate the Biden administration, to provide a broad assessment of the Biden presidency, of the impact on the Supreme Court of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment, and of the remarkable 2020 and 2022 election cycles. The implications are profound and we explore them in depth in this new edition. The new edition also:
* Assesses the characteristics and results of the Trump administration.
* Analyzes the 2020 presidential elections, how Biden won and Trump lost, andwhat changes were wrought by the 2022 congressional election results.
*Describes numerous ways in which the American political system has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic struggles caused by it, and the political turmoil in which the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol has played such a visible role.
Explores the early Biden administration, its policy wins and losses, and the change in tone it has tried to set in Washington and the nation.
* Includes new and revised special features among The Constitution Today, Pro & Con, Let's Compare boxes, and updates all of the tables and graphs.
* Assesses the implications of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and what it implies for our political culture and partisan politics.
* Assesses the implication of "fake news" and "the move to mobile" for our politics. We ask whether our politics suffers more from purposeful manipulation of the news, either by foreign actors like the Russians or domestic actors seeking to shape opinions and elections, or from the limited information that many Americans, particularly those dependent on mobile devices, bring to politics.
* Explores the evidence for increasing polarization in public opinion, voting behavior, and the work of Congress and the courts.
* Details the impact on the Supreme Court of President Trump's appointments to the Supreme Court of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, and Biden's appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson .
* Details the impact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine had on President Biden's attempt to rebuild U.S. national security alliances.
