With Liberty and Justice for All?: The Constitution in the Classroom will be of interest to anyone--whether teacher, student, or citizen--interested in a better appreciation of how constitutional disputes have influenced the course of US history. With a foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this book combines penetrating essays by constitutional scholars with a wealth of supporting primary source documents and discussion topics. It reveals how controversies over the US Constitution--debates over its intentions and interpretations; disagreements about both its soaring ideals and tragic flaws--have fundamentally shaped the nation's story.

A valuable resource for students, teachers, and citizens looking to better understand US Constitutional history
With Liberty and Justice for All?: The Constitution in the Classroom is designed to help teachers and students generate analysis and debate in our nation's classrooms about an aspect of US history that has produced intense disagreements about rights and wrongs: constitutional history. For more than two centuries, Americans have argued about what the US Constitution permits or requires (or not), and what values and ideals it enshrines (or not)--indeed, who is to be included (or not) in the very definition of "We the People."
This book provides abundant resources to explore key moments of debate about the Constitution and its meaning, focusing on fundamental questions of citizenship and rights. It analyzes American history through the use and misuse of the Constitution over time, from early disputes about liberty and slavery to more recent quarrels over equality and dignity. With a foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this book's succinct and probing essays by prize-winning historians--including Linda Greenhouse, Mary Sarah Bilder, Annette Gordon-Reed, Eric Foner, Sam Erman, Julie Suk, Laura Kalman, and Melissa Murray--provide the core of the book. Their topics encompass woman suffrage, school desegregation, Japanese internment, McCarthyism, all dramatic turning points in American history. Carefully selected and annotated primary sources and focused discussion questions provide teachers with the tools to bring constitutional history into the classroom with ease.
As this book amply demonstrates, United States history is constitutional history. A companion website provides additional resources for teachers.
Steinbach '81, Marcus, and Cohen urge students and teachers to wrestle with the constitutional questions that animate U.S. history. The volume's eight chapters examine the Constitution's "use and misuse" at watershed moments, interweaving analysis by historians with primary sources. Rather than adopting any one view, With Liberty and Justice for All? shows the Constitution to be contested.
