About These Guides

📖 Source-First Structure

Each guide follows the Markdown source in syllabus order, reproducing the assigned constitutional provisions and organizing the doctrine around the cases that make it concrete.

⚖️ Case-Centered Review

Assigned decisions are integrated into the doctrinal discussion and gathered again in digest and consolidated-review sections for quick recitation preparation.

🎯 Verified, Inferred, Assumed

The source’s status labels are retained and styled throughout so that primary-text holdings, reasoned conclusions, and provisional points remain distinct.

💬 Recitation-Ready

Sticky tables of contents, review tables, exam-style problems, and cold-call drills make the material usable for both first reading and last-minute review.
