Description
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, we have witnessed the emergence of ongoing public arguments about the intellectual and cultural foundations of our constitutional system; the norms governing constitutional interpretation and the proper role of the judiciary in this system; and the proper interpretation of certain key provisions of our fundamental law.
Trade ReviewThe essays by eminent scholars in the fields of public law and political theory collected here represent significant contributions to the ongoing debate about the foundations and proper operation of the American constitutional system. -- Ellis Sandoz, Louisiana State University
Among the chief embarrassments of contemporary political science is its evident irrelevance to practical democratic life. This remarkable volume, however, is an outstanding exception. Professors Grasso and Castillo and the distinguished contributors they have assembled show that scholarly research and reflection have important contributions to make to the deliberation and decisions of citizens. -- Robert P. George, Visiting Professor, Harvard Law School; McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
