Attempting to fill the void he sees in existing texts on American politics and public policy, Morrow (political science, College of William and Mary) emphasizes the influence of the Constitution on both politics and policy making in the United States. He analyzes the role of the Constitution in shaping democratic theory, explores how political parties and the media use constitutional principles to amplify their influence on public opinion and policy decisions, and investigates how policy making institutions flavor their business with constitutional doctrine.
