Living Constitution, Dying Faith: Progressivism and the New Science of Jurisprudence

Beschreibung

To understand why courts today rule the way they do, Bradley Watson shows, you must go back more than a century. You'll find the philosophical and historical roots of judicial activism in the late nineteenth century. Watson traces a line from social Darwinism and pragmatism, through the rise of Progressivism, to our situation today.
