Constitutional Politics (English, Pup Inhouse | Robert P. George)

Product description Review "All essays provide interesting insight into the concepts of judicial review and judicial activism. [An] excellent book. I highly recommend it to all."---Ruth Ann Wary, Law and Politics Book Review"A provocative, enlightening, and creative study of the intricacies and fragilities of constitutionalism in the modern day." ― Choice Review "Under the leadership of Walter F. Murphy, the Princeton School has redefined the central concerns of public law. Eschewing a reductive focus on 'judicial behavior,' while refusing merely to echo the legal academy, it has concerned itself with a more fundamental, far-reaching, and interesting set of questions―the meaning and worth constitutionalism, its preconditions, and the way of life it fosters. The Princeton School has thus reconnected public law with political theory and returned political science to a mode of discourse shared by citizens."―Stanley C. Brubaker, Colgate University.
