Jeffrey S Sutton

51 Imperfect Solutions

States and the Making of American Constitutional Law

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

51 Imperfect Solutions argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting our individual liberties. An underappreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. The book corrects this imbalance and illustrates the virtues of federalism for all Americans.
