National Security Law and the Constitutionprovides
a comprehensive examination and analysis of the inherent tension
between the Constitution and select national security policies, and it
explores the multiple dimensions of that conflict. Specifically, the
Second Edition comprehensively explores the constitutional foundation
for the development of national security policy and the exercise of a
wide array of national security powers. Each chapter focuses on
critically important precedents, offering targeted questions following
each case to assist students in identifying key concepts to draw from
the primary sources. Offering students a comprehensive yet focused
treatment of key national security law concepts, National Security Law and the Constitution
is well suited for a course that is as much an advanced “as applied”
constitutional law course as it is a national security law or
international relations course.
