Law's Promise, Law's Expression

Résumé du livre

The conservative ""social issues agenda"" promises to use the power of law to effect a cultural counterrevolution that would negate the successes of the civil rights movement, the women's movement, and the gay rights movement. In this lively and provocative book, ( a constitutional law scholar] for law ads) the author of Belonging to America discusses a wide range of issues-from street crime and pornography to abortion and school prayer-and argues eloquently that most of the social issues agenda violates the constitutional principle of equal citizenship.
