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 Warren Court can accommodate both principles and concludes that pragmatism provides no reliable guarantee against the pitfalls of dogmatism
