Bøker av H. Jefferson Powell

Advocating a different approach - one that eschews ideology but still values personal perspective, this work makes a case for the centrality of individual conscience in constitutional decision making. It argues that almost every controversial decision has more than one constitutionally defensible resolution.

H. Jefferson Powell offers a powerful new approach to one of the central issues in American constitutional thinking today: the many ways in which constitutional arguments and outcomes are shaped both by historical circumstances and by political goals - including those of judges.
