Constitutional law concerns itself with the scope and interpretation of the Constitution. It defines the scope of authority and relationships of the executive branch, judiciary branch, and the legislature. The area of individual human rights or civil liberties, as codified in the Bill of Rights, is also a part of the area of Constitutional law. Civil liberties concerns itself with the rights of the individual. For the student of law, the Constitutional Law Flash Cards cover topics within the area of Constitutional law including the study of the powers of Congress, the powers of the Executive, the powers of the Judiciary, the study of the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and freedom of religion, protection of economic rights, basic and equal protection of individual rights under due process, and the relation of each branch of government versus each other as well as that of the individual. The Constitution is a document which touches on all of these matters. However the question of how the laws of the Constitution should be interpreted and applied to very specific and individual cases is a matter which is often open to debate. Individual legislators, executive powers, and often the justices of the Supreme Court may have differing views of how the rules defined in the Constitution was meant to be applied.

Furthermore the interpretation of the Constitution is often based within a context of historic precedents, previous interpretations of the Constitution, and current values and policies. Breaking out the topic into individual components with examination like question and answers, the student of law will find these constitutional law flash cards a worth while reference.
