In Who Decides?, Judge Sutton imparts a vitally important lesson: When reflecting on constitutional structure and the separation of powers, we would do well to pay far more attention to state constitutions. By highlighting the distinctive design choices in states' founding documents, this book enriches our collective understanding of how we allocate power within our governments, both state and federal.
