A timely contribution to the analysis of the American Constitution.
. . . Edited by Stanley Friedelbaum, it consists of essays written
predominantly by political scientists with expertise in
constitutional law. The underlying theme is twofold: an exploration
of the constitutional norm of federalism, and of the nature and
meaning of the Bill of Rights. . . . Highly recommended for
advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Choice The editor
introduces the volume with an overview of the historical
relationship between federal and state courts and a discussion of
the interplay of national and state legal standards. The
contributing authors examine the ways in which various state courts
have expanded their effective jurisdiction with regard to specific
constitutional issues, including state counterpart First Amendment
guarantees, women's rights, privacy, and economic due process.
Other topics covered are the reactions of state courts to
pro-prosecution Burger Court decisions, the efforts of state courts
to shield their findings from federal review, and the limits of
state authority over individuals. The final chapter assesses the
possible long-term significance of state constitutional initiatives
for human rights protection and the American judicial system as a
whole. The first authoritative, full-length analysis of the
subject, this study will be welcomed by legal scholars and students
as well as human specialists.
