Recenzje

[Before this title] I had yet to see a constitutional law textbook that clicked with me...For me, its primary strength is in the way it integrates law and politics. Too many constitutional law textbooks before this spent too little attention to the political factors that surround and shape constitutional law. It very self consciously treats both law and politics as significant dynamics and contributors to the evolution of constitutional law...Much of my graduate training and scholarship since emphasized the interrelationship between political and legal institutions, actors, and dynamics. Politics shapes law; law shapes politics. As part of this, I appreciate that the text emphasizes that constitutional and statutory law is usually the result of lengthy debates and that constitutional law happens in locations other than the Supreme Court."
