Apple of Gold
By comparing the constitutional systems of Israel and the United States, Gary Jacobsohn provides a new view of the essentials of constitutionalism itself--a balanced picture that would have been impossible to achieve by focusing on any one polity. Abraham Lincoln, in likening the Declaration of Independence to the Biblical "apple of gold," and the Constitution to its "picture of silver," illuminated the connections in the United States between po…
Theorizing the Constitutional Revolution
The concept of the constitutional revolution has become ubiquitous, but it is applied to all manner of things that are unlike each other in notable ways. It has been generously applied to events in such far-flung places as South Africa, Eastern Europe, Great Britain, India, Canada, Iran, Israel, and the United States. Despite its oxymoronic character, it has the potential to illuminate a much-vexed subject of scholarly inquiry. This article seeks…

Alternative Pluralisms
Constitutional transplantation, the process by which the constitutional practice of one society becomes an important source for the legal development of another, has figured importantly in the institutional evolution of new politics. In this article, I examine the constitutional experience of Israel and the United States, two societies that share a language of jurisprudential discourse while differing significantly in a number of polically releva…

Sociology
Modern Jurisprudence and the Transvaluation of Liberal Constitutionalism
This article focuses on some of the recent work in constitutional jurisprudence, especially the writings of Ronald Dworkin. It argues that the liberal constitutionalism of the present represents a significant, although not always acknowledged, departure from the liberal constitutionalism of the founding period. The Constitution in effect becomes an object of transvaluation, involving an important reordering of underlying philosophical assumptions…
"Abraham Lincoln "On This Question of Judicial Authority
the meaning of the Constitution. From Hamilton's early forays into the field of judicial review to the most recent explorations, most notably in the work of John Hart Ely (1980), the elaboration of important statements, or theories, of judicial review have been predicated on more or less clear renderings of constitutional purpose and design. This article will examine one such effort, that of Abraham Lincoln, whose famous argument on the limits of…
Hamilton, Positivism, & the Constitution
This article takes issue with Raoul Berger's account of the Constitution as a positivistic legal document. It argues that there is no incompatibility between what Berger rightly perceives as a principal concern of the founders, that discretionary judicial power be carefully circumvented, and the intent of these men to establish a Constitution embodying certain principles of natural right and justice. Alexander Hamilton's jurisprudential reflectio…

Citizen Participation in Policy-Making
The "Pragmatic Dogma" of the Political Thicket
The compatibility or contradiction of pragmatism and dogmatism has presented a problem to students of American jurisprudence. With seeming inconsistency both critics and supporters of the Warren Court have stressed the pragmatic nature of its decisions despite the dogmatic quality of some of its major guiding norms. The author analyzes the apparent contradiction in the context of the reapportionment issue. He finds that the judicial logic of the …
