    This course introduces the sources and limitations of government power contained in the U.S. Constitution.

The course explores how the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted and applied the Constitution in the ongoing effort to balance power in the following arenas: among branches of the federal government, between the federal government and states, and between the government and individual citizen. This course is intended for students majoring in Administration of Justice or anyone interested in U.S. law or law enforcement.
