Description

In this innovative interpretation of America's founding and of its whole system of judicial review, Larry Kramer shows than nowadays Americans think to function as the majority -- the settlers fought for and produced a very different system--and used a very different knowledge of citizenship. "Popular sovereignty" wasn't some historic abstraction, and the idea of "the folks" was greater than a switch rhetorical system invoked on the campaign trail. Concerns of constitutional meaning triggered those things of government authorities and strong public discussion were greeted with celebratory feasts and bonfires, or riotous opposition. Americans handled the Structure included in the lived reality of the everyday lifestyle.
