Excellent text for introduction to constitutional law

I used this text with introductory Constitutional Law students. Most found it one of the best texts they have ever used. They were particularly pleased with the author's approach. Pohlman gives a good sense of the historical setting. The students found the briefs very helpful to their understanding of legal thinking. Most of the cases are well edited.
