In this astutely argued book, Gerard N. Magliocca explores how Bryan's effort to reach the White House energized conservatives across the nation and caused a transformation in constitutional law. Responding negatively to the Populist agenda, the Supreme Court established a host of new constitutional principles during the 1890's. Many of them proved long-lasting and highly consequential, including the "separate but equal" doctrine supporting racial segregation, the authorization of the use of force against striking workers, and the creation of the liberty of contract. The judicial backlash of the 1890's-the most powerful the United States has ever experienced-illustrates vividly the risks of seeking fundamental social change. Magliocca concludes by examining the lessons of the Populist experience for advocates of change in our own divisive times. 517 3 $aConstitutional law and the politics of backlash 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1865-1933 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a342.7302/9 700 $aMagliocca$b Gerard N$0476011 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808829703321 996 $aThe tragedy of William Jennings Bryan$94051354 997 $aUNINA
