Many people, particularly liberals, have "warm and fuzzy" feelings about judicial review. They are nervous about what might happen to unprotected constitutional provisions in the chaotic worlds of practical politics and everyday life. By examining a wide range of situations involving constitutional rights, Tushnet vigorously encourages us all to take responsibility for protecting our liberties. Guarding them is not the preserve of judges, he maintains, but a commitment of the citizenry to define itself as "We the People of the United States." The Constitution belongs to us collectively, as we act in political dialogue with each other--whether in the street, in the voting booth, or in the legislature as representatives of others. Tushnet urges that we create a "populist" constitutional law in which judicial declarations deserve no special consideration. But he warns that in so doing we must pursue reasonable interpretations of the "thin Constitution"--the fundamental American principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution. A populist Constitution, he maintains, will be more effective than a document exclusively protected by the courts. Tushnet believes, for example, that the serious problems of the communist scare of the 1950's were aggravated when Senator Joseph McCarthy's opponents were lulled into inaction, believing that the judicial branch would step in and declare McCarthy's actions unconstitutional. Instead of fulfilling the expectations, the Court allowed McCarthy to continue his crusade until it was ended. Tushnet points out that in this context and in many others, errors occurred because of the existence of judicial review: neither the People nor their representatives felt empowered to enforce the Constitution because they mistakenly counted on the courts to do so. Tushnet's clarion call for a new kind of constitutional law will be essential reading for constitutional law experts, political scientists, and others interested in how and if the freedoms of the American Republic can survive into the twenty-first century. 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 606 $aJudicial review$zUnited States 606 $aLegislative power$zUnited States 606 $aPolitics, Practical$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aJudicial review 615 0$aLegislative power 615 0$aPolitics, Practical 676 $a342.73/02 686 $aPL 733$2rvk 700 $aTushnet$b Mark V.$f1945-$0262598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455036303321 996 $aTaking the Constitution away from the courts$92466415 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05323oam 2200613I 450 001 9910154619503321 005 20230126214847.0 010 $a1-351-95110-6 010 $a1-138-27775-4 010 $a1-315-26012-3 010 $a9781315260129 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315260129 035 $a(CKB)3710000000965264 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4758632 035 $a(OCoLC)965542765 035 $a(BIP)63374844 035 $a(BIP)12582987 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9781315260129 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000965264 100 $a20180706e20162006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 00$aCivil society, associations and urban places $eclass, nation and culture in nineteenth-century Europe /$fedited by Graeme Morton, Boudien de Vries and R.J.

Increasingly clubs and voluntary societies have been regarded as an important step in the formation of formal political parties, particularly for the working and middle classes. The result of this is the assertion that the more associations existing in a particular society, the deeper democracy becomes entrenched. In order to test this hypothesis, this volume brings together essays by an international group of urban historians who examine the construction of civil society from associational activity in the urban place. From their studies, it soon becomes clear that such simple propositions do not adequately reflect the dynamics of nineteenth-century urban society and politics. Urban associations were ideological in purpose and deliberately discriminatory and as such set the boundaries of civil society. Thus competing and segmented associations were not only an indication of pluralism and strength, but also highlighted a fundamental weakness when faced down by the interests of the state. Through a wide array of urban associations in a broad range of settings, comprising Austria and Bratislava, France and Italy, the Netherlands, Austro-Hungary, England, Scotland and the US, this volume reflects on the construction of class, nation and culture in the associations of the nineteenth-century urban place. In so doing it shows that a deep and interlocking civil society does not automatically lead to a rise in democratic activity. Expansion of the networks of urban association could equally result in greater subdivision and to the fragmentation and isolation of certain groups. Partition as much as coherence is our understanding of civil society and associations in the nineteenth-century urban place. 410 0$aHistorical urban studies. 606 $aSociology, Urban$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAssociations, institutions, etc$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial classes$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCivil society$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aSociology, Urban$xHistory 615 0$aAssociations, institutions, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory 615 0$aCivil society$xHistory 676 $a307.76/094 701 $aMorris$b R.
