Synopsis:

First Amendment defenders greeted the Citizens United ruling with enthusiasm, while electoral reformers recoiled in disbelief. Robert Post offers a constitutional theory that seeks to reconcile these sharply divided camps, and explains how the case might've been decided in a way that would preserve free speech and electoral integrity.

Review: Robert Post offers a powerful critique of the "Citizens United" decision, and an original and compelling new perspective on how the Supreme Court should analyze campaign finance laws in light of the First Amendment s commitment to electoral integrity.--Geoffrey R. Stone, University of Chicago"

Democracy is not just a structure of elections and political institutions, but a mysterious and historically fluid set of ideas about the relationship between citizens and those who govern. With his characteristically subtle understanding of our cultural history, Robert Post shows how changing ideas of self-government illuminate one of the great political and legal controversies of our time.--Richard H. Pildes, New York University
