ISBN: 0275949184 ISBN-13: 9780275949181 Publisher: Praeger OUR PRICE: $74.25 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 1994 Annotation: The processes of constitutional change in America are particularly difficult to understand because of the constant interaction between the constitutional document of 1787 and the wider set of understandings and practices surrounding that document. This work is the first to examine systematically the relationship between changes initiated by constitutional amendment and changes initiated by judicial interpretations or actions of the two elected branches of government. By examining and comparing all three mechanisms of constitutional revision, Vile offers a more complex and dynamic analysis of this important constitutional issue than can be found elsewhere in the literature. |
