The Adaptability Paradox
Faith in the resilience of the US Constitution prompts many observers to discount evidence of a deepening crisis of governance in our day. A long history of success in navigating tough times and adapting to new circumstances instills confidence that the fundamentals of the system are sound and the institutions self-correcting. The aim of this article is to push assessments of this sort beyond the usual nod to great crises surmounted in the past a…
The Policy State
Political Theory in Institutional Context
In the aftermath of the Stamp Act, prominent American thinkers of otherwise unquestioned Whiggish affiliation adopted an expansive view of the king’s prerogative powers while simultaneously denying Parliament’s authority to interfere in the internal governance of the colonies. Scholars have generally attributed this stance, known as “patriot royalism,” to political necessity: with no other means of disputing Parliament’s oppressive actions, despe…
Constitutional, Criminal, Civil
With a view to elaborating a developmental theory of constitutionalism in the United States, this essay explores the relationship among constitutional, criminal, and civil law. It supports, with relevant case materials, a single proposition: civil litigants are afforded contested constitutional protections in federal court to the extent that the judges attribute an aspect of criminality to the underlying facts or issues in question . The essay te…
Cold Case File
Starting from the position that officer accountability is a core value of American constitutionalism, this article reassessesMarbury v. Madisonin light of the indictable acts connected to the nondelivery of Marbury's commission. First, it reads Chief Justice Marshall's opinion against the background of personal and political hostility among the principals, including between Marbury and President Jefferson. Second, it identifies avenues of further…
Doing Time
Proceeding inductively, starting with three standard examples of major constitutional change, this short essay offers a theory of the Constitution, derived from its historical imposition on the criminal law. The theory proposes to unite constitutional provision, structure, and operations within a single framework over time
Have We Abandoned a “Constitutional Perspective” on American Political Development
Defining terms is a serious undertaking and one bound to stir controversy. When we decided to devote a book to this task, we were under no illusion that everyone would readily sign on to our proposal. We thought, however, that it was worth calling attention to certain conceptual problems that currently beset the study of American political development (APD). We wanted to underscore the value of tractability in claims about change over time and to…
The Search for American Political Development
In recent years, American political development has claimed the attention of a growing band of political scientists, and scholars have begun to speak of 'APD' as a subfield within the discipline. This book provides a justification for studying politics historically, not only for what it reveals about the roots of political affairs at the present time but what it teaches about politics as an ongoing activity in time, anytime. Placing the character…
Officers' Rights
The changing rights of legally designated officers provides a comprehensive framework for following American constitutional development over time, in both public and private settings. Rights are defined as judicially enforceable claims on the person or actions of another; development, as enduring change in constitutional provision, structure, and doctrine. It is proposed that constitutional development as a historical process has consisted of a s…

A War Between Officers”
I will begin this essay with a fugitive slave case in my home state of California, Ex parte Archy, decided by the state Supreme Court in 1858.9 Cal. 147 (1858). A full narrative of the case is in Paul Finkel man, “The Law of Slavery and Freedom in California, 1848–1860,” California Western Law Review 17 (1981): 437–464. While he lived in Mississippi, Archy (Lee), nineteen years old, was the slave of a man named Charle s Stovall. In 1857, Stovall …
Structure, Sequence, and Subordination in American Political Culture
Rogers Smith's American Political Science Review article, “Beyond Tocqueville, Myrdal, and Hartz: The Multiple Traditions of America,” poses challenging substantive and methodological questions for the study of American political development. Whether or not it intended to do so, the article has struck a chord in several programs of research. The following colloquy between Smith and me centers on Smith's reading of political culture in terms of “t…

Ideas and Institutions
The Primacy of Labor in American Constitutional Development
As demonstrated in landmark decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, American constitutional development has been fueled since the framing by disputes arising from changing labor relations in both private and public settings. This pattern is explained by the original provisions of the Constitution, the English background of its emergence, and the primacy of labor as a theoretical concept for studying political change. The Court's decisions protecting…
The Work of Government
The following essay elaborates the proposition that changing work relations has been a major problematic of American constitutional development. By work relations I refer to the hiring and firing, compensation, and discipline, of persons assigned to perform designated tasks in public and private settings. By “problematic” I have in mind cause and project, dynamic and rationale, of constitutional duration and change. By “constitutional development…

Institutions, Antinomies, and Influences in Labor Governance
I will take up the editors' invitation to respond to Catherine Fisk's remarks on Belated Feudalism within the framework of the two general questions she sees raised by each of the books in her review.' The first question is the extent to which judicial decisions shape social and political movements, in particular the American labor movement. The second is whether this shaping explains the character of public social provision in the United States …
Labor Regulation and Constitutional Theory in the United States and England
THE ORIGINS OF AMERICAN LABOR LAW are hidden by a view of the American past in which institutions prior to the seventeenth century take on a largely antiquarian cast and institutions prior to the late eighteenth century are of interest mainly for how they were transformed. It is arguable that legal doctrines and the social practices they regulate, and even their change over time, can be studied on their own, without attending to their longer prov…
How Organized Labor Created Modern Liberalism
book, states a prefatory precis, represents a fundamental reinterpretation of constitutional change . . . and of the role of . . . organized labor, which is shown to be a creator of liberalism, rather than a spoiler of socialism. According to Karen Orren, the labor movement played the central role in the shaping of modern American liberalism, by which term she means not primarily competitive individualism a la Joyce Appleby or John Diggins but ra…

Organized Labor and the Invention of Modern Liberalism in the United States
There is perhaps no political topic that has been given such relentlessly comparative treatment as the American labor movement. It is rare to read any comprehensive political or historical study of organized labor that is not cast, implicitly or explicitly, against the greater class consciousness of European counterparts. The explanations advanced for the uniqueness or the lack of vigor in the American strain—abundance of land, immigration, early…
Standing to Sue
The law of standing-rules by which judges find whether a party may bring suit-has been liberalized in the federal courts to permit interest group disputes not ordinarily possible. Following an historical pattern of conflict containment within judicial-style processes, consumer and environmental groups contest corporate business decisions by challenging the legality of their regulatory or legislative authorization. The vagueness and substantive em…

Union Politics and Postwar Liberalism in the United States, 1946–1979
It is evident now that the political structures built in the United States over the last half-century depended for their successful functioning on a set of international conditions that no longer exist. The government programs of the 1930s to protect labor organization, promote high agricultural prices, and provide cheap credit would have caused, had the gold standard not been defunct, massive gold outflows, worsening the already severe economic …

Judicial Whipsaw
In this article Professor Orren examines the Seventh Amendment right to civil jury trial as an example of the contemporary abridgement of economic civil liberties. She argues not only that recent interpretations have generally weakened the protection afforded by this Amendment, but that they have altered the civil jury's function in American government
