[309]-342) and index.Historical narratives in constitutional reasoning : intuitions and myths revisited -- An overview of arguments used in constitutional adjudication -- The constitutional text in the light of history -- Behind historical narratives : the promise of continuity -- The fruits of reconciliation : a bittersweet harvest.Emphasizes the role history and historical narratives play in constitutional adjudication. Uitz provocatively draws attention to the often-tense relationship between the constitution and historical precedence highlighting the interpretive and normative nature of the law. Her work seeks to understand the conditions under which references to the past, history and traditions are attractive to lawyers, even when they have the potential of perpetuating indeterminacy in constitutional reasoning. Uitz conclusively argues that this constitutional indeterminacy is obscured by 'judicial rhetorical toolkits' of continuity and reconciliation that allow the court's reliance on the past to be unaccounted for. Uitz' rigorous analysis and extensive research makes this work an asset to legal scholars and practitioners alike.Constitutional lawConstitutional historyJudicial reviewHistoryConstitutional courts, Constitutional history, Constitutional law, Judiciary, Political philosophy.Constitutional law.Constitutional history.Judicial reviewHistory.347/.012Uitz Renáta925485MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783578503321Constitutions, courts, and history3769652UNINA
