Governmental Powers: Cases and Readings in Constitutional Law and American Democracy, written by prominent scholar and professor of constitutional law and political theory, Corey Brettschneider, explores the division, enumeration, and roles of the governmental powers established under the U.S. Constitution and the controversies arising from that system in the context of a changing American society. Like its parent volume, Constitutional Law and American Democracy, this text offers a wealth of highly focused case excerpts and interdisciplinary readings dealing with today's most salient debates.

The dreaded RED book series. These books really "hide the ball." They require a lot of thinking. A lot is provided and a lot of work is required to figure out the law. I think of this book as how law school was 20 years ago. Your read the law, read an example/fact scenario and have a few questions without getting the answer all the time. Generally a good book. I like the brown LexisNexis books the most. The blue ones from Westlaw are also pretty good. But these Red books are advanced. Smart Harvard lawyers use these books to kick your butt into thinking you do not learn anything. Great area of law. Usefull book .
