POS 290 - Constitutional Law

Constitutional Law examines the role of the Supreme Court in defining fundamental rights and liberties with a particular focus on case law. This course will examine the topics of incorporation, the Establishment Clause, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and criminal procedure. Constitutional law will also examine the struggle for equality and civil rights in the context of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and income by examining the Equal Protections Clause and Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The inherent tension in supporting individual rights when such individual rights conflict with the will of the democratic society will also be examined.
