As part of a new series of Greenwood's comprehensive reference
guides to the United States Constitution, Professor Durchslag's
edition on the Eleventh Amendment's guarantee of state sovereign
immunity is the most thorough and up-to-date treatment of that
amendment. The Court's interpretation of the Eleventh Amendment
over the past two centuries has been an attempt to balance the
sovereign interests of the states against the primacy of federal
law, and is currently its primary means of articulating its
federalist doctrine. Beginning with an extensive history of the
Eleventh Amendment and the ratification debates surrounding it,
Durchslag proceeds to a chronological discussion of the development
of the first generation of Eleventh Amendment jurisprudence from
1793 - 1890. The book then proceeds topically, tracing the
developments of the various doctrinal components of the Amendment,
and includes suggestions as to how they may evolve. The work
concludes with an erudite bibliographic essay to guide the reader
to relevant primary and secondary works, and is fully indexed. For
constitutional students, scholars, and legal practitioners, as well
as for political scientists and historians studying the
constitution or federalism.
