ReviewsI like the link between current topics and Supreme Court cases, for example, National Federation of Business v. Sebelius. I also like the references to the Constitution placed separately in colored boxes to draw attention., This is a comprehensive, interactive platform from which you can flip the classroom and leave time for discussions, debates, and problem-solving exercises in class., [This text has the] ability to help students critically think about debates in American government and apply theories to these current debates.
