States in American Constitutionalism: Interpretation, Authority,
and Politics examines the often overlooked role that states have
played in the development and maintenance of American
constitutionalism by examining the purpose and effect of state
resolutions on national constitutional meaning. From colonial
practices through contemporary politics, subnational governments
have made claims about what national constitutional provisions and
principles ought to mean, fashioned political coalitions to back
them, and asserted their authority to provoke constitutional
settlement. Yet, this practice has been far from static. Political
actors have altered the practice in response to their interpretive
objectives and the political landscape of the day. States in
American Constitutionalism explains both the development of the
practice and the way each innovation to the practice affected
subsequent iterations. Hays presents a series of case studies that
explore the origins of the practice in colonial constitutionalism,
its function in the early Republic, subsequent developments in
antebellum and twentieth century politics, and contemporary
practice in the first two decades of the twenty-first century.
States in American Constitutionalism will be of great interest to
students and academics interested in constitutional law and
politics, political and constitutional development, and federalism.
