This book, the result of a major international conference held at
Yale Law School, contains contributions from leading scholars in
public law who engage critically with Bruce Ackerman’s
path-breaking book, Revolutionary Constitutions: Charismatic
Leadership and the Rule of Law. The book also features a rebuttal
chapter by Ackerman in which he responds directly to the
contributors’ essays. Some advance Ackerman’s theory, others
attack it, and still others refine it – but all agree that the
ideas in his book reset the terms of debate on the most important
subjects in constitutionalism today: from the promise and perils of
populism to the causes and consequences of democratic backsliding,
from the optimal models of constitutional design to the forms and
limits of constitutional amendment, and from the role of courts in
politics to how we identify when the mythical ‘people’ have
spoken. A must-read for all interested in the current state of
constitutionalism.
