Americans wage many of today's fiercest policy debates and culture wars as battles over constitutional meaning. Constitutional law implicates everything from abortion to same-sex marriage to the scope of presidential power in times of war. Quite simply, many of the most important issues of the day are ultimately questions of constitutional interpretation, and the Constitution rarely answers these questions clearly.

Law School for Everyone: Constitutional Law draws you into some of the most fascinating and intriguing questions, issues, and debates over the nature and meaning of the Constitution as it pertains to our lives. Throughout these lectures, you'll explore how various articles, sections, and clauses in the U.S. Constitution have been interpreted in the past-and how they continue to be interpreted today. These include the:

Commerce Clause, which grants Congress the power to regulate commerce "among the several states" and which was interpreted to tremendously expand the size and reach of the federal government during the New Deal era;
Due Process Clause, on which the Supreme Court has relied to protect many controversial liberty interests and to apply most of the provisions for the Bill of Rights against state governments; and
Equal Protection Clause, which, forms the basis of decisions invalidating both race and sex discrimination.

Enriched by Professor Berger's experience clerking on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, his eye-opening scholarship on issues of constitutional law, and his award-winning work as a professor of constitutional law and constitutional history at the University of Nebraska, Law School for Everyone: Constitutional Law is a unique look into how we think about and understand the U.S. Constitution. It is both an accessible legal education and a powerful reminder of just how far-reaching constitutional issues can be.
