Product description
There are multiple rights under the federal bill of rights – over two dozen, with freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and due process of law being among the most frequently cited. Interestingly, for every right contained in the federal bill of rights, a state court or state constitution or state statute has expanded that right beyond the language interpretation accorded under federal law.
State Constitutional Law: Rights & Protections is an easy-to-digest book guides the reader through state constitutional law, providing important analysis and insight.
