I like this book because it has the key terms in bold face and defined in the side margins. Plus it ins't super boring to read. I bought it because it was a book I needed for school. So there isn't anything I really like or dislike about it. It serves it's purpose. My teacher said as long as we listen in class and have the textbook for our vocabulary words we should be ok, and so far everything seems up to date; except of course that it says George Bush is the president.

Each feature examines the chapter's topic in light of what the Constitution says or does not say about it. Living Constitution boxes are broken down into four components. Each one begins with an excerpt from the Constitution related to that chapter's topic; defines the meaning of the excerpt; explains the historical context of the excerpt, noting what the Framers were thinking about or reacting to in this portion of the document; and covers why the excerpted clause continues to be relevant, noting recent court cases or ongoing debates or challenges related to it.
New boxes discuss the Roberts Court, same-sex marriage-related initiatives and amendments in the Midterm elections, and the impact of illegal immigration on social welfare programs. Each box begins with a topic overview, provides accessible and detailed summaries of opposing arguments related to the issue, and ends with critical thinking questions that allow students to examine their own stance on the topic and suggested readings for further research.
Each feature includes an overview paragraph and critical thinking questions designed to guide students in a detailed analysis of the information.
