The American Supreme Court (The Chicago History of American Civilization) Book

I really enjoyed this book, I learned a ton about the judicial branch. I found McClosky's main thesis, that the Supreme Court grew in three distinct phases, each learning to focus on specific issues and ways that the State, Nation, and individual relate to one another, fascinating. I do wish he had spent a little more time in explaining the background or details of the cases he chose, because I had to do some side research to get the full force at times. All in all, it was an easy, quick read that brought really interesting questions up, things I had never thought about, and that I liked pondering.
