Review

"A lively, informative work and often fascinating reading.

"Appellate Practice Journal""

"Levy [is] one of the best of our constitutional historians. . . . This is a strong, admirable book--at times, even passionate.

A profoundly intelligent contribution to an issue that regularly gets confused in the hands of superficial commentators. . . . A powerful argument.
