Conceived during the turbulent period of the late 1960s when
'rights talk' was ubiquitous, Federal Service and the Constitution,
a landmark study first published in 1971, strove to understand how
the rights of federal civil servants had become so differentiated
from those of ordinary citizens. Now in a new, second edition, this
legal-historical analysis reviews and enlarges its look at the
constitutional rights of federal employees from the nation's
founding to the present.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this highly readable history of
the constitutional relationship between federal employees and the
government describes how the changing political, administrative,
and institutional concepts of what the federal service is or should
be are related to the development of constitutional doctrines
defining federal employees' constitutional rights. Developments in
society since 1971 have dramatically changed the federal
bureaucracy, protecting and expanding employment rights, while at
the same time Supreme Court decisions are eroding the special legal
status of federal employees. Looking at the current status of these
constitutional rights, Rosenbloom concludes by suggesting that
recent Supreme Court decisions may reflect a shift to a model based
on private sector practices.
