The three authors - Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay - were respectively the first Secretary of the Treasury, the fourth President, and the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in American history. Each had played a crucial role in the events of the American Revolution; together they were convinced of the need to weld thirteen disparate and newly-independent states into a union. Their essays make the case for a new and united nation, governed under a written Constitution that endures to this day.The Federalist Papers are an indispensable guide to the intentions of the founding fathers who created the United States, and a canonical text in the development of western political thought.

Laura Kalman, one of the country's most important legal historians, offers a spellbinding exploration of the realm where law and politics met in 1937-and where, with the stakes as high as ever, they still meet today. * Linda Greenhouse, Yale Law School   *\u003cbr\u003eBy writing from the perspectives of the players, especially FDR, Laura Kalman casts much new light on an episode-the Court-packing plan-that many of us falsely believe we know all about. She writes vividly and leads readers to want to turn pages to find out what comes next. A wonderful read on an important topic. * Sanford Levinson, author of Framed: America's 51 Constitutions and the Crisis of Governance   *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the nation's preeminent legal historians, Laura Kalman provides an insightful and entertaining look at the New Deal constitutional crisis. Kalman shines a fresh light on the public and legislative reaction to Franklin Roosevelt's 'court-packing plan' and explains why Roosevelt was unable to persuade a Democratically-controlled Congress to increase the number of Supreme Court justices. FDR's Gambit is a must-read for anyone interested in the story behind this bold political move at a pivotal moment in the history of the Court and of the nation. * Brad Snyder, author of Democratic Justice: Felix Frankfurter, the Supreme Court, and the Making of the Liberal Establishment   *\u003cbr\u003eWith Supreme Court reform again bobbing up and down at the surface of political contention, Laura Kalman's meticulous examination of the political history of FDR's Court-packing plan cautions against any simple version of what happened. Moving almost day by day, Kalman shows how complicated the Court-packing plan's course was (like that of any piece of significant legislation). Was the plan a blunder by FDR? Maybe yes, maybe no. Was it doomed from the start? Perhaps, but perhaps not. Did politically savvy interventions by the Court and its Chief Justice derail the proposal? A bit, but perhaps not too much. Kalman's careful account lets readers come to their own conclusions about the plan's fate-and about the meaning of the episode for our own times. * Mark Tushnet, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law emeritus, Harvard Law School   *\u003cbr\u003eLaura Kalman's revisionist account of the Court-packing crisis of 1937 delves more widely and deeply into the relevant archival materials and contemporary journalistic coverage than has any previous treatment. Her overview of the vast body of scholarship concerning constitutional development in the New Deal period is erudite and discerning. Even those who may differ with her normative perspective or with some of her interpretive conclusions will find much to learn from and admire in this absorbing and illuminating narrative. * Barry Cushman, John P. Murphy Foundation Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame   *\u003cbr\u003eLaura Kalman has been a longtime participant in and observer of the ongoing debate about the political and legal significance of the Roosevelt Administration's introduction of a bill to expand the size of the Supreme Court in early 1937. This book is her most recent and extensive contribution to the debate. It demonstrates Kalman's great talent for archival research and exceptional command of scholarly literatures. Students of the New Deal, twentieth century American politics, and twentieth-century constitutional history are in debt to Kalman for her illuminating intervention into a scholarly issue of enduring significance. * G.

They range from claims that COVID-19 is a hoax to the theory that vaccines cause autism. In Liars, Cass Sunstein argues that free societies must generally allow falsehoods and lies, which cannot be excised from democratic debate. At the same time, governments should regulate specific kinds of falsehoods: those that genuinely endangerhealth, safety, and the capacity of the public to govern itself. Sunstein concludes that government and private institutions, like Facebook and Twitter, currently allow far too many lies, including those that threaten public health and democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a closely argued examination of lying and fake news, mainly in relation to US laws and organisations...

Drawing on legal doctrine, psychological research, and an impressive command of the dynamics of modern media, Cass Sunstein offers a sobering explanation of why factual falsity is increasingly prevalent in contemporary public discourse and why American free speech doctrine may do more to exacerbate than alleviate the problem.

The late Justice Scalia relished pointing to departures from the written text of the Constitution as a departure from Constitutional law itself, but in fact his own jurisprudence relied on unwritten ideas. Given that Scalia''s textualist approach to constitutional interpretation has become even more prominent in recent years with the elevation of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett--all jurists in the mold of Scalia--to the Supreme Court, it is crucial that the public understands that these textualists all rely on unwritten ideas when they interpret the Constitution. Indeed, our most intense debates about America''s written Constitution are not about constitutional text, but about the unwritten ideas and understandings that guide our reading of the text.In The (Un)Written Constitution, George Thomas makes these ideas visible by turning to the practices of Supreme Court justices and political actors in interpreting the Constitution over more than two centuries. From founding debates about freedom of speech and religion to contemporary arguments about judicial review, the separation of powers, same--sex marriage, and partisan gerrymandering, he highlights the too--often unacknowledged ideas that animate our debates about the written Constitution. Contrary to the self-identified textualists, Thomas argues, these recurrent debates are not about whether to follow the text. Rather, they are disputes about what fidelity to the text requires.Illuminating how moving beyond the text is an inescapable feature of interpreting the written Constitution, this concise primer on constitutional interpretation forces us to consider the text--and the unstated principles that lie beneath it-in a new light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think this book will be an excellent supplement for students working their way through the canon of constitutional law and trying to understand why and how the constitution and its meaning evolve over time, even when the text does not change. In my experience,the best reads are the ones that leave us with burning questions for future scholars and thinkers to resolve. The (Un)Written Constitution certainly accomplishes that. * Amanda Hollis Brusky, Review of Politics *\u003cbr\u003eThe (Un)Written Constitution is a thoughtful, well-written slim volume that I could easily see assigning in an advanced undergraduate constitutional law course. Indeed, by paying close attention to Thomas's arguments, students will surely emerge as more confident constitutional interpreters in their own right and enhance their understanding of the necessity of exploring the principles that underlie the opinions of the justices. * Kevin J. McMahon, Trinity College, Perspectives on Politics *\u003cbr\u003eThe (Un)Written Constitution involves Thomas's careful elucidations of the reasoning of judges on both sides of the political divide in a series of well-known Supreme Court decisions, from the nation's inception to the present * KEN I . KERSCH, American Political Thought *\u003cbr\u003eBefore turning to the substance of Thomas' arguments, it is important to note that this book is extremely well-written and accessible enough for well-informed non-lawyers but also sufficiently sophisticated to appeal to constitutional law professors—no easy trick. Above all, Thomas does a masterful job presenting opposing arguments in their strongest lights before he tears them down. He takes textualist arguments seriously, even when he rejects them, which is exactly how a scholar should treat counterarguments. * Eric Segall, Georgia State University College of Law, The New Rambler *\u003cbr\u003eThe (Un)Written Constitution is a marvelously concise and myth-busting account of America's central constitutional debates. By proving beyond dispute that all constitutional interpreters must rely on unwritten assumptions and political theories to make sense of the constitutional text, Thomas helps lift the fog of confusion that shrouds so much constitutional controversy. A must read for judges, students, and citizens: all who seek to understand the meaning of our founding texts. * Stephen Macedo, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Politics and Human Values, Princeton University *\u003cbr\u003eAll constitutional interpretation begins somewhere within the four corners of the text. But as George Thomas argues in this crisply written, astute, and occasionally ironic analysis, how jurists read and interpret that text always rests upon some set of notions about the political theory of the Constitution, the moral values embedded in it, and a host of other ideas about the enterprise of legal interpretation. For Thomas, these are the '(un)written' parts of the Constitution that appear nowhere in its text but that permeate the whole messy enterprise of interpretation that he deftly dissects. * Jack Rakove, William R. Coe Professor of History and American Studies, Emeritus, Stanford University *\u003cbr\u003eThomas argues that textualists and originalists, no less than living constitutionalists and moral readers, make judgments based on unwritten understandings of the Constitution-debatable interpretations of its fundamental concepts, principles, and commitments, as well as of the underlying political theory embodied in the Constitution. Thus, contrary to common assertions, our disagreements in constitutional interpretation are not between those who stick to the text and those who go outside it. This is a timely, accessible, and compelling book. * James E. Fleming, The Honorable Paul J. Liacos Professor of Law, Boston University School of Law *\u003cbr\u003eThis book persuasively shows that our central constitutional disagreements are not about the written text, but about unwritten ideas and understandings. Thomas succeeds in showing that this distinction between the unwritten and written is a misleading one and that the Constitution is most notably a work of applied political theory. All justices appeal to the underlying political theory of the document, a theory that in many cases they often disagree about. The book nicely draws on historical and contemporary examples to advance this argument. * Sonu Bedi, Joel Parker 1811 Professor in Law and Political Science and Professor of Government, Dartmouth College *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Interpreting a Written Constitution              Chapter 1 Text and Textualism               Chapter 2 Text and Originalism       Chapter 3 Text and Republican Government      Chapter 4 Text and the Separation of Powers      Chapter 5 Text and Unwritten Understandings     Conclusion: The Inescapability of Constitutional Judgment    Notes  Index","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732649980247,"sku":"9780197555972","price":24.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197555972.jpg?v=1719997800"},{"product_id":"social-media-freedom-of-speech-and-the-future-of-our-democracy-9780197621097","title":"Social Media Freedom of Speech and the Future of","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is strongly recommended for those interested in the intersection of social media and politics and for instructors looking for readily comprehensible articles for their upper-division courses. * J.

Christian G. Fritz looks at interposition, which is the practice of states opposing federal government decisions that were deemed unconstitutional. Interposition became a much-used constitutional tool to monitor the federal government and organize resistance, beginning with the Constitution''s ratification and continuing through the present affecting issues including gun control, immigration and health care. Though the use of interposition was largely abandoned because of its association with nullification and the Civil War, recent interest reminds us that the federal government cannot run roughshod over states, and that states lack any legitimate power to nullify federal laws. Insightful and comprehensive, this appraisal of interposition breaks new ground in American political and constitutional history, and can help us preserve our constitutional system and democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Fritz's meticulously researched and timely book reframes our understanding of interposition and shows that it was distinct in important ways from nullification. This book fills a gap in our knowledge of the states' role in early national federalism, placing the founders' ideas in context and showing how those ideas were reshaped in the early nineteenth century.' Alison L. LaCroix, University of Chicago, author of The Interbellum Constitution: Union, Commerce and Slavery in the Age of Federalisms\u003cbr\u003e'Christian Fritz is one of the most illuminating students of American constitutional development. His latest book, on the theory and practice of state interposition, casts dazzling new light on the complexities of unified constitutional meaning in a fractious federal system.' Sanford Levinson, University of Texas, author of Framed: America's 51 Constitutions and the Crisis of Governance\u003cbr\u003e'With perfect timing, Fritz's book on the history of state legislative resistance hits the market, just as debate about the theory of the independent state legislature heats up, and the Supreme Court considers it. Reading Fritz's fascinating examination of state legislative actions should fill the need for accurate history absent from the debate thus far.' Maeva Marcus, Research Professor of Law, The George Washington University\u003cbr\u003e'In this deftly argued book, Christian Fritz traces the complex ways in which the American states attempted to 'interpose' their authority to challenge federal acts. He explains what the idea of interposition meant to its main author, James Madison, but also why Madison's concept proved so ambiguous and controversial to its interpreters.' Jack Rakove, Stanford University, author of Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution\u003cbr\u003e'… the book succeeds in recovering the history of interposition and documenting its status as one of state governments' key weapons in their skirmishes with the federal government in the early decades of the republic. Fritz's prose is crisp and clear, and his voluminous references appear as endnotes in a way that does not slow the reader down but document his insights thoroughly. Readers will learn a tremendous amount about interposition in particular as well as about American political development as it relates to federalism. It should therefore be of interest to both scholars with specific interests in interposition and the early American republic as well as those with a more general interest in how American federalism works.'

A fully revised and updated new edition, this book includes new case studies of regulatory agencies and government contracting to develop understanding of law in practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'From its first edition in 1984, this book has deliberately provoked lawyers to venture beyond their doctrinal bubbles: it truly is the leading work on law and administration. Its coverage of legal doctrine is vast, its sense of where the law has come from and where it is heading has always been unerring, and above all, its research into the effects of administration upon law (and vice versa) is dazzling. This new edition has been radically rewritten, including (for example) new material on the UK post-Brexit, governing in a pandemic, and computerised decision-making and rule-making in the era of artificial intelligence.'

What are the implications of that vote and its prolonged aftermath for the United Kingdom (UK) constitution? What other challenges does our political system face? This book seeks to answer these questions. It considers from a constitutional perspective the way in which the decision to leave the EU was taken and then implemented, discussing in particular the role of Parliament. It includes a close analysis of the referendum legislation, and relevant Commons debates. Adapting methods from applied history, the author considers the wider implications of Brexit by assessing a series of proposals for constitutional reform produced in the UK since 1900. He addresses features of the UK system including referendums, representative democracy, Parliament, devolution, and the executive, from both an historic and contemporary point of view. The book assesses other issues that do not arise directly from Brexit but that have constitutional implications and a global aspect to them. They include political applications of the Internet and climate change. Finally, the author makes a series of proposals for reforms that will help the democratic system of the UK to adapt to its changing environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStretching the Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e by Andrew Blick, a constitutional scholar, is refreshing in that it employs a unique approach by seeking to place Brexit within the wider context of constitutional reform debates going back over the course of the past century... The historical context provided to contemporary debates is insightful, but also very instructive in introducing the modern reader to materials of which they would in many instances have been ignorant or unaware.

But it also gives cause for optimism. By looking to the past, the author uncovers possible solutions to many of the dilemmas we face today. They range from the tension between direct and representative government to the abuse of online campaigning.

It examines the foundations and the organisation of judicial review, the types of administrative action, and corresponding kinds of review and access to court. Significant attention is also devoted to the conduct of the court proceedings, the grounds for review, and the standard of review and the remedies available in judicial review cases.  The relevant rules and case law of Germany, England and Wales, France and the Netherlands are analysed and compared. The similarities and differences between the legal systems are highlighted. The impact of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights is considered, as well as the influence of EU legislative initiatives and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, in the legal systems examined. Furthermore, the system of judicial review of administrative action before the European courts is studied and compared to that of the national legal systems.  During the last decade, the growing influence of EU law on national procedural law has been increasingly recognised. However, the way in which national systems of judicial review address the requirements imposed by EU law differs substantially. The casebook compares the primary sources (legislation, case law etc) of the legal systems covered, and explores their differences and similarities: this examination reveals to what extent a \u003ci\u003eius commune\u003c\/i\u003e of judicial review of administrative action is developing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe incredible richness of the materials collected in this book and the soundness of the in-depth analysis provided in all the chapters will certainly represent a very useful resource for classes and research in comparative administrative law and judicial systems. -- Giulio Napolitano, University of Roma Tre * Review of European Administrative Law *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

With its user-friendly format of summaries, checklists, ‘top tips’ and flow charts, this book looks at the setting up of a public inquiry through to its close.

Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience as public inquiry lawyers, working on inquiries such as the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Inquiry, Leveson Inquiry and Grenfell Tower Inquiry, together with contributions from a number of other eminent practitioners in the field, this book provides valuable, comprehensive guidance on the public inquiry process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a lucid and accessible foundation in the practicalities of establishing, running and concluding a public inquiry.

It focuses on the overarching principles and the main institutions of constitutional governance that the world’s longest written constitution inaugurated in 1950. The nine chapters of the book deal with specific aspects of the Indian constitutional tradition as it has evolved across seven decades of India’s existence as an independent nation. Beginning with the pre-history of the Constitution and its making, the book moves onto an examination of the structural features and actual operation of the Constitution’s principal governance institutions. These include the executive and the parliament, the institutions of federalism and local government, and the judiciary. An unusual feature of Indian constitutionalism that is highlighted here is the role played by technocratic institutions such as the Election Commission, the Comptroller and Auditor General, and a set of new regulatory institutions, most of which were created during the 1990s. A considerable portion of the book evaluates issues relating to constitutional rights, directive principles and the constitutional regulation of multiple forms of identity in India. The important issue of constitutional change in India is approached from an atypical perspective.  The book employs a narrative form to describe the twists, turns and challenges confronted across nearly seven decades of the working of the constitutional order. It departs from conventional Indian constitutional scholarship in placing less emphasis on constitutional doctrine (as evolved in judicial decisions delivered by the High Courts and the Supreme Court). Instead, the book turns the spotlight on the political bargains and extra-legal developments that have influenced constitutional evolution.  Written in accessible prose that avoids undue legal jargon, the book aims at a general audience that is interested in understanding the complex yet fascinating challenges posed by constitutionalism in India. Its unconventional approach to some classic issues will stimulate the more seasoned student of constitutional law and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e... unlike other legal scholarship, the book is written in crisp language.

So argues \u003ci\u003eAgainst Constitutionalism\u003c\/i\u003e, Loughlin’s ambitious account of how constitutionalism emerged, developed, and spread.

Whether or not you agree with all his proposed reforms, anyone concerned about the growth of unbridled executive power must read this book. -- Randy E.

This brief volume focuses on empirical versus normative questions that are key to fostering an analytical approach to what we know about courts and judging. . . The supplementary primary source excerpts are the standard fare for judicial process textbooks. . . they provide solid applications of the concepts introduced in the text. The structure of the book is organized by social science theories, which provides an interesting frame for presenting concepts organically, on an as-needed basis. This makes the flow of the book superior to that of many similar texts. Although the book covers many of the basics, it occasionally assumes some prior knowledge. It draws more heavily from the perspective of political science than many similar texts, which makes it an important supplement to a more traditional text in courses on judging, judicial process, or law and society.
