How has the U.S. Supreme Court justices' thinking on gun rights, abortion, free speech, freedom of religion, and many other controversial issues evolved? What were some of the Court's most important and monumental decisions … and failures? Which justices have-and still have-the most influence on the Court?

Hudson Jr., J.D., takes a fascinating and insightful journey through the creation, history, and rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court in The Handy Supreme Court Answer Book: The History and Issues Explained. He analyses controversial issues and various points of view and sheds a light on the differing and changing interpretations of the critical issues before the Court, as well as the Court's history, its confirmation process, some of the its most important justices, and fun trivia, including … How did the Court rule on a public school student's profane, off-campus rant on Snap-chat? How did the U.S. Supreme Court emphasize privacy protection for cell phone searches? When did the U.S. Supreme Court invalidate a ban on interracial marriages? Who was "Wade" in Roe v. Wade?
