Description

A clear, readable and fair account of the development of judicial review.-Ashley Montagu

Reviews

Admirably free of the polemics and vindictive reductivism swirling about current issues of 'intent', 'incorporation', and judicial review...Wolfe asks the large questions: e.g., whether the Constitution itself is an adequate basis for modern government. Agreement may come hard but this thoughtful, balanced book illuminates the great debate. * Library Journal *
At once comprehensive, historically rich, and theoretically deep....To anyone who cares about the current sorry state of constitutional law and theory, this book is must reading. -- Gary McDowell, University of London
A clear, readable and fair account of the development of judicial review. * American Political Science Review *
