"In the fourth edition of State Constitutional Law: The Modern Experience, the authors present cases, articles, and other materials about our intensely democratic, ever evolving, and increasingly salient state charters of government. This edition contains two new chapters, one on Representation and Voting, and one on Local Governments. Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Rucho v. Common Cause (2019) that the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to challenges to gerrymandered voting districts, the States have become the focus of reform efforts in this area and with respect to many other voting issues. In the short time since Rucho, the States have seen plenty of state court debates about the meaning of a wide variety of state constitutional guarantees, generating a rich set of decisions about these vexing issues. Much of American government turns on what should be national and what should be local. The local side of the equation includes not just state governments but cities, counties, and townships too. In America circa 2023, these truly local governments have become a third source of governmental innovation, a form of federalism within federalism, and a bountiful source of debates about the meaning of Home Rule guarantees in most state constitutions" -- Provided by publisher
