This dream has been shared by millions of people who have believed that in this nation all men and women could truly be free. It is a dream that began in colonial times and continues to draw thousands of people to the United States each year. For many people the American Dream has meant freedom from religious persecution. For others it has meant freedom from political upheavals and wars. For still others it has meant freedom to achieve economic success. As an American, you have the freedom to pursue your own American Dream, whatever it may be. But the American Dream will remain a reality only as long as you, and all Americans, work to protect our precious heritage of freedom.

The American Class Structure in an Age of Growing Inequality (Ninth Edition)
by Dennis L. GilbertLike its predecessors, the Ninth Edition of Dennis Gilbert's The American Class Structure in an Age of Growing Inequality, focuses on the socioeconomic core of the American class system. Drawing on classic and contemporary studies, Gilbert describes our class structure and shows how class affects our everyday lives, from the way we raise our children to the way we vote. The major theme running through the book is the increasing inequality in American society. Gilbert describes the shift in the mid-1970s from an "Age of Shared Prosperity" to an "Age of Growing Inequality. " Using the most recent wage, income, and wealth statistics, and accounts of the shifting balance of class power in national politics, the author traces the widening disparities between the privileged classes and average Americans. He repeatedly returns to the question, "Why is this happening?" A variety of economic, political, and social factors are examined, and the competing explanations of influential writers are critically assessed, concluding with the author's synthesis of the book's lessons about the power of class and the forces behind growing inequality.
American Constitutional Interpretation (University Casebook Series)
by Walter F. Murphy James E. Fleming Sotirios A. Barber Stephen J.

Who are its authoritative interpreters? How should they go about their interpretive tasks? The new edition has been updated to include important new cases decided through June 2018, including Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra. To maintain brevity, the authors have removed a number of cases from the casebook and placed them on the accompanying website.
