# Unpacking Constitutional Law **URL:** **By** Randy E. Barnett, Josh Blackman, Aaron Ross Powell, Trevor Burrus **Published:** July 31, 2020 --- Randy Barnett and Josh Blackman join the show to talk about how constitutional law has developed in the last 2 centuries. In Randy Barnett and Josh Blackman’s latest book, they wrote about the 100 Supreme Court cases everyone should know. Their hope is that the book will help teachers and professors teach constitutional law in an organized fashion. They cleanly laid out the history of constitutional law to illustrate how doctrine has shifted over time. Could we have ended up in a different place if we did not interpret the Constitution in the way that we have for over two centuries? ## Further Reading: [An Introduction to Constitutional Law: 100 Supreme Court Cases Everyone Should Know](https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Constitutional-Law-Supreme-Everyone/dp/1543813909/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=24N7XA5VL8GM8&dchild=1&keywords=an+introduction+to+constitutional+law&qid=1596119873&s=digital-text&sprefix=an+introduction+to+con%2Cdigital-text%2C208&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyRk8xMVNOMFpBMzJaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzY3NTA4M1ZIVjVKSktRNzI1RCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzEzNjMxMVBKOFQwT0taMEcyUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU%3D), written by Randy E.
