The Crisis in Teaching Constitutional Law

[Sympthsical]

2. That's the path I've been following now

"First you learned the basics: the Supreme Court’s power to say what the Constitution means. Then you read and discussed cases that set precedents for different parts of the Constitution — the commerce clause, presidential powers, due process, equal protection and so on. Finally you studied how the court balances individual liberties against the government’s need to act in the public interest."

Exactly that path. (I'm in school for nursing, but I take constitutional law classes for fun. And they are fun!)
