The Fourteenth Amendment: From Political Principle to Judicial DoctrineHarvard University Press, 01.06.2009 - 253 Seiten In a remarkably fresh and historically grounded reinterpretation of the American Constitution, William Nelson argues that the fourteenth amendment was written to affirm the general public's long-standing rhetorical commitment to the principles of equality and individual rights on the one hand, and to the principle of local self-rule on the other. |
