Recensione

Review of the hardback: 'Webber offers an elegant and vigorous argument against what he takes to be the 'received approach' to the limitation of constitutional rights.' Julian Rivers, Public Law

Review of the hardback: 'Webber offers ... an ambitious reconceptualization of constitutions and their rights ... his most fundamental positive thesis ... is that constitutional rights are actually constituted by their accompanying limitations clause ... the synthesis itself is indeed novel and, I think, a real contribution to the literature on constitutional theory ...' John Oberdiek, Constitutional Commentary

Review of the hardback: 'Webber's discussion of the limitation of rights comes with a more general theory of the constitution ... It is, thus, a book of impressive breadth.' Charles-Maxime Panaccio, International Journal of Constitutional Law

Review of the hardback: 'Webber's book invites us to think about rights in new ways and is a welcome contribution to constitutional theory discourse.' Dwight Newman, Alberta Law Review

Descrizione del libro

Grégoire C. N. Webber examines how abstract guarantees in bills of rights can be related to controversies of specific rights-claims, arguing that, by leaving rights open-ended, a constitution leaves to the legislature the responsibility to complete the rights-project. The argument will interest researchers and students in human rights and constitutional theory.
