On this episode of The Side Comment, Steven A. Steinbach discusses how United States history can also be taught and understood by focusing on constitutional history. Increasingly, Americans have resorted to courts and the Constitution to resolve disputes and debates over rights and the Supreme Court and the Constitution itself have become the focus of national news. But this is nothing new, and the earliest debates date back to almost the adoption of the Constitution.

Steven A. Steinbach teaches United States History and American Government courses and has served as history department chair at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. Previously he was a partner in the Washington, DC, law firm of Williams & Connolly LLP, where he specialized in criminal and civil litigation.
