In No Contest, Ralph Nader and Wesley Smith reveal that the true cause of our system's breakdown lies not with the ordinary citizens -- although we must assume responsibility for its reform -- but with wealthy, powerful corporations and their lawyers.

ISBN: 9780674319288 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ronald Dworkin argues that Americans have been systematically misled about what their Constitution is, and how judges decide what it means. The Constitution, he observes, grants individual rights in extremely abstract terms. The First Amendment prohibits the passing of laws that "abridge the freedom of speech"; the Fifth Amendment insists on "due process of law"; and the Fourteenth Amendment demands "equal protection of the laws" for all persons. What does that abstract language mean when it is applied to the political controversies that divide Americans--about affirmative action and racial...
