Sinossi

In the more than twenty years since Roe v. Wade, the executive and legislative branches of government have pursued a staggering number of initiatives relating to abortion. In this groundbreaking study, legal scholar Neal Devins shows how the Supreme Court, elected government, and private citizens together help to shape what the Constitution means. Central to his study is the question of how the Court and elected government influence each other. In addition to the abortion debate, Devins examines conflicts over federalism, race, religion, and separation of powers. These constitutional disputes, Devins contends, can be as constructive as they are inevitable. Without an ongoing dynamic that allows each side to win some of the time, Devins concludes, the Constitution would be less enduring.
