Opis

Originally published in 1977, this book launched a national debate on the proper role of American courts that has continued down to the present. One of the first constitutional scholars to question the growth of judicial activism in modern America, Berger contended that the United States Supreme Court, throughout most of the 20th century, has been engaged in a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of 'interpretation', that has subverted our democratic institutions.
