This course will focus on the text of the U.S. Constitution and, to a lesser extent, relevant case law, as a framework for examining major constitutional issues that have emerged over the past year. Topics include the “unitary executive” theory, police immunity, administrative warrants, and impeachment. Through close reading and discussion, participants will explore how the Constitution's language is interpreted and misinterpreted as affected by current developments and politics.  

Please note that participation in Larry's previous course on the Constitution is not a prerequisite; this course will explore topics that were largely not addressed last spring.
