If you only need the buying answer: the current paperback listing is the strongest clean route in this snapshot. It is lower than the sampled 180-day digital access, lower than rental, and dramatically lower than the sampled marketplace print options. For a constitutional-law text that many readers return to, print is the strongest value route here.

What this book actually teaches
Constitutional Law for a Changing America is a case-centered constitutional-law text about doctrine, judicial reasoning, and the changing structure of constitutional interpretation in American public life. The book matters because it helps readers work through how cases build doctrine and how constitutional arguments shift over time, not just memorize holdings.
This kind of book often stays useful well beyond one class, especially for students in political science, public policy, criminal justice, and pre-law study. Constitutional frameworks tend to reappear in later coursework and in civic or legal reasoning more broadly.
Why print is the strongest route here
The financial picture is unusually favorable to ownership. The current paperback undercuts every other clean option sampled, including the temporary digital route. That matters because a casebook-style text becomes easier to use when it can be marked up and kept, and here you are not paying more for that advantage.
I would lean strongly toward print for readers who expect to annotate cases, doctrines, and interpretive arguments or return to constitutional frameworks later. The only real argument against ownership would be dependable access elsewhere plus no expectation of later reuse.
