teaching slavery

[David M Wagner]

    I have been an enthusiastic user of Brest & Levinson, and if I ever
teach
    the course again will use the successor, Brest, Levinson, Balkin and
    Amar.  One of the reasons I am such a fan of the book is that it
provides a
    natural way of presenting material that is very important historically
and
    theoretically but that does not closely relate to any currently
significant
    doctrinal category.  This describes not only Dred Scott but also, for
    example, Blaisdell, which offers a wonderful way to discuss theories of
    constitutional change and of the extent to which the text is limiting.



    Blaisdell naturally comes up if one includes a unit on economic
liberties, as do Stone Seidman Sunstein & Tushnet, no?
