POLS 013. Constitutional Law & Politics I: Institutional Powers (AP)

This course provides a close examination of constitutional conflicts over institutional authority in the U.S. political system. Specific areas of study will include the scope of congressional power, interbranch conflicts, bureaucratic authority, and federalism. Although we will spend much of our time analyzing Supreme Court decisions, we will also examine the broader political context in which the Court operates and how actors outside the Court have played important roles in shaping constitutional meaning.
