Opis

Justice Charles Evans Hughes had an incredible definition of what he perceived as the meaning of the Constitution: "The Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is". However, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes reemphasized that "Law is the prophecies of what the Courts says it is, and nothing more pretentious". These great legal technocrats and scholars contributed immensely to the constitutional framework of a democratic society to a greater extent, that the outcome reflects the interconnection between judicial interpretation and political ideology of the modern and contemporary constitutional democracy today. This book is an embodiment of where the aforementioned scholars left off, in regards to the ideology in which constitutional interpretation is built upon in order to make sense of the legal and political interpretation of democratic crisis today and tomorrow.
