Trust in the Constitution: Some Preliminary Thoughts on Civic Trust as a Constitutional Good
Peopling the Constitution
The U.S. begins with soaring words We People, but we, people, have little to do with document as most of us have come to know it. When most think of constitution they think of it as a legal instrument, province of judges and lawyers, who alone possess expertise and knowledge necessary to discern its elusive and complex meaning. This book outlines a very different view of as a moral and philosophical statement about who we are as a nation. This Co…

The Perfect Recipe: Taste and Tyranny, Cooks and Citizens
This paper considers the implications of a particular kind of recipe, namely recipes that purport to be perfect, for democratic citizenship. I explore the political dimensions of perfect recipes not in terms of identity or community, but as a type of political instrument, or as manifesting a particular form of political obligation, based on the cook/reader's submission to the terms and commands of the recipe. We might thus describe the relationsh…

The Kitchen Voice as Confessional
In this article I argue there is a distinct literary genre that I shall call the “kitchen confessional.” More specifically, I consider what kinds of works qualify as kitchen confessionals and why. Kitchen confessionals are important for what they tell us about women and domesticity. Their importance is partly a function of place, tied to the unique status of the household kitchen and the role for women in it. No less important, though, is the kit…
Electorial regimes and the proscription of anti-democratic parties
Elections are central to the theory and practice of constitutional democracy. A decision to exclude particular groups from the political process represents a fundamental choice about the nature and character of legitimate political conflict. Whether in the form of a constitutional ban, as in the case of Article 21 of the Federal Republic of Germany's Basic Law, or in statutory form, as in the US Internal Security Act of 1950, the exclusion of ant…

Constitutions in Crisis: Political Violence and the Rule of Law
This timely book examines the ways in which western democracies have attempted to contain domestic political terrorism. It is the first broadly comparative analysis of anti-terrorist laws, focusing on the preventative measures enacted by constitutional governments in Britain and Germany to deter terrorist acts.
Public support for emergency (anti‐terrorist) legislation in Northern Ireland: A preliminary analysis
Anti‐terrorist legislation in the United Kingdom is premised upon the assumption that the existence of special criminal procedures for terrorist offenses will not affect how citizens evaluate the legitimacy of the legal process and of legal institutions more generally. I examine the implications and question the plausibility of that assumption in this article. For my analysis, I shall rely upon public opinion data concerning the extent to which R…
