A re-interpretation of American constitutional history, planned as the first of three volumes. Ackerman examines the transforming impact of popular movements on higher law. He also aims to put the Reagan revolution into perspective and redefine America's civic commitments for the future.

It sets contemporary events, such as the Reagan revolution, in deeper, constitutional perspective and considers fundamental reforms that might resolve them. schovat popis
