This book analyzes the structure of our constitutional system of government, providing an overview of the constitutional history of American federalism as it has been developed in decisions of the United States Supreme Court.
Federalism: A Reference Guide to the United States Constitution provides a thorough examination of this significant and distinctive part of the U.S. constitutional system, documenting its role in major domestic constitutional controversies in every period of American history.
Although the book is organized historically rather than doctrinally, the marked evolutions of important areas of doctrine are addressed over time. These subject areas include the scope of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause, the scope of Congress's powers under the Fourteenth and other post-Civil War Amendments, the states' authority to regulate commercial and economic matters when Congress is silent, the principle of the supremacy of federal law and the law of preemption that follows from it, intergovernmental and sovereign immunities, the obligation of state courts to enforce federal law, and the scope of national power to regulate or impose obligations on the states. 
 • Provides historical information in a clear, chronological order
• Enables law students and lawyers to improve their understanding of the legal doctrines that underlie today's conflicts.
• Documents the relationships among different doctrines across particular time periods

Jackson &amp; Tushnet’s Comparative Constitutional Law reflects the increased interest in its subject matter brought on by the transformation of constitutional systems in South Africa, eastern and central Europe, as well as increased activity of constitutional courts around the world. The materials in this book concentrate on the U.S., Canada, and the nations of western and eastern Europe, with some material drawing on constitutional experience in China, India, Israel, Japan, and elsewhere.
