At once comprehensive, historically rich, and theoretically deep....To anyone who cares about the current sorry state of constitutional law and theory, this book is must reading.

At once comprehensive, historically rich, and theoretically deep....To anyone who cares about the current sorry state of constitutional law and theory, this book is must reading.--Gary McDowell, University of London

Admirably free of the polemics and vindictive reductivism swirling about current issues of 'intent', 'incorporation', and judicial review...Wolfe asks the large questions: e.g., whether the Constitution itself is an adequate basis for modern government. Agreement may come hard but this thoughtful, balanced book illuminates the great debate.--Library Journal

A clear, readable and fair account of the development of judicial review.--American Political Science Review
