| adam_text | THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA
This is the second edition of Professor Tushnet’s excellent short
critical introduction to the history and current meaning of the United
States’ Constitution. It is organised around two themes: first, the US
Constitution is old, short, and difficult to amend. These characteristics
have made constitutional ‘interpretation’, especially by the US Supreme
Court, the primary mechanism for adapting the Constitution to ever-
changing reality. Second, the Constitution creates a structure of political
opportunities that allows political actors, including political parties, to
pursue the preferred policy goals even to the point of altering the very
structure of: politics. Politics, that is, often gives meaning to the Consti-
tution. Deploying these themes to examine the structure of the national
government, federalism, judicial review, and individual rights, the book
provides basic information about, and deeper insights into, the way the
US constitutional system has developed and what it means today
