POL 115: U.S. Constitutional Law
3.00 Credits
Community College of Allegheny County
Born in the turbulent years following the Revolutionary War, the Constitution of the United States formalized many of the philosophical and political ideas of that period. The central values embodied in the U.S. Constitution reflect the Founders' commitment to liberty and representative government. While the U.S. Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government, it has also generated a tremendous amount of controversy over its history. From the very beginning, disputes over constitutional interpretation have played a major role in shaping the American republic. In this course, students study some of these major constitutional disputes and gain a greater appreciation for the evolution of constitutional law since the founding period.
