CRJU 483 - Constitutional Law II:National Powers

Institution:

Union College - New York

Subject:

Description:

An overview of the United States Supreme Court's interpretation of Articles I, II, and III of the federal constitution. These articles divide the powers of the federal government between three ostensibly co-equal branches. The respective branches may only exercise those powers granted to them by the respective Articles. Powers not delegated to one of the branches are reserved to the states. These two constitutional principles - separation of powers and federalism - invariably generate confl icts between the three branches and between the branches and the various states. The Supreme Court's efforts to arbitrate such confl icts are examined through analysis of its decisions and its efforts to interpret the "plain meaning" of the Constitution's language, and tdiscern the "intent of the founders." Cross listed as PLSC 483. (Even years)
