The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Constitutional Law presents an accessible introduction to the enduring topics of American constitutional law, including judicial review, methods of interpretation, federalism, separation of powers, equal protection, and individual liberties. One of the most important functions performed by the American Constitution and the more than two centuries' worth of cases interpreting it is the allocation of decision-making. Professor Dorf and Professor Morrison frame many of these constitutional debates with this question of authority. When should courts rule that the Constitution takes some issue outside of the domain of ordinary politics? Should courts referee disputes between the branches of the federal government? Should they referee disputes between the states and the national government? Using what standards? This introduction to American constitutional law critically examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States, which has resolved thousands of constitutional controversies based on the shortest national constitution on the planet. The authors also look beyond the Supreme Court, exploring the arguments for and against judicial review and various versions of popular constitutionalism.

How can someone who condemns hunting, animal farming, and animal experimentation also favor legal abortion, which is the deliberate destruction of a human fetus? The authors of Beating Hearts aim to reconcile this apparent conflict and examine the surprisingly similar strategic and tactical questions faced by activists in the pro-life and animal rights movements. Beating Hearts maintains that sentience, or the ability to have subjective experiences, grounds a being's entitlement to moral concern. The authors argue that nearly all human exploitation of animals is unjustified. Early abortions do not contradict the sentience principle because they precede fetal sentience, and Beating Hearts explains why the mere potential for sentience does not create moral entitlements. Late abortions do raise serious moral questions, but forcing a woman to carry a child to term is problematic as a form of gender-based exploitation. These ethical explorations lead to a wider discussion of the strategies deployed by the pro-life and animal rights movements. Should legal reforms precede or follow attitudinal changes? Do gory images win over or alienate supporters? Is violence ever principled?By probing the connections between debates about abortion and animal rights, Beating Hearts uses each highly contested set of questions to shed light on the other.

The son of a Lithuanian blacksmith, Sidney R. Yates rose to the pinnacle of Washington power and influence. As chair of a House Appropriations Subcommittee, Yates was a preeminent national figure involved in issues that ranged from the environment and Native American rights to Israel and support for the arts. Speaker Tip O'Neill relied on the savvy Chicagoan in the trenches and advised anyone with controversial legislation to first "clear it with Sid!"Michael C. Dorf and George Van Dusen draw on scores of interviews and unprecedented access to private papers to illuminate the life of an Illinois political icon. Wise, energetic, charismatic, petty, stubborn--Sid Yates presented a complicated character to constituents and colleagues alike. Yet his get-it-done approach to legislation allowed him to bridge partisan divides in the often-polarized House of Representatives. Following Yates from the campaign trail to the negotiating table to the House floor, Dorf and Van Dusen offer a rich portrait of a dealmaker extraordinaire and tireless patriot on a fifty-year journey through postwar American politics.

Our Constitution speaks in general terms of “liberty” and “property,” of the “privileges and immunities” of citizens, and of the “equal protection of the laws”—open-ended phrases that seem to invite readers to reflect in them their own visions and agendas. Yet, recognizing that the Constitution cannot be merely what its interpreters wish it to be, this volume’s authors draw on literary and mathematical analogies to explore how the fundamental charter of American government should be construed today.

La interpretación de la Constitución es, sin duda, el tema central del Derecho Constitucional contemporáneo. La determinación de los derechos fundamentales encargada a los jueces en las actuales democracias constitucionales genera permanentes tensiones sobre el objeto y los límites de la interpretación constitucional.Laurence H. Tribe y Michael C. Dorf asumen en este libro que la actividad interpretativa se enfrenta con "desacuerdos sustanciales" que condicionan de manera significativa los resultados a los que se arriba. Uno de los propósitos que se plantean los autores es "desmitificar el proceso de interpretación de la Constitución", presentándolo como una actividad comprometida con valores, pero al mismo tiempo, orientada por una serie de pautas y principios que restringen las posibilidades del subjetivismo moral irracional.Apoyados en la enorme tradición del constitucionalismo jurisprudencial norteamericano, los autores trazan pautas y rebaten los argumentos del conservadurismo expresado en el originalismo norteamericano que pretende limitar la actividad interpretativa a la búsqueda de la "intención original".Laurence H. TribeGraduado de la Harvard Law School y profesor de Derecho Constitucional en la misma universidad, ha defendido más de treinta casos ante la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, incluyendo el caso Bush vs. Gore, como abogado de este último, en el que Bush ganó las elecciones presidenciales. Michael C. DorfGraduado de la Harvard Law School, trabajó como asistente del Juez Anthony M. Kennedy. Ha defendido casos ante la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos y actualmente se desempeña como profesor en la Cornell Law School.
