The effects of unanimity on behavior conformity. 330 $aFew institutions in the world are credited with initiating and confounding political change on the scale of the United States Supreme Court. The Court is uniquely positioned to enhance or inhibit political reform, enshrine or dismantle social inequalities, and expand or suppress individual rights. Yet despite claims of victory from judicial activists and complaints of undemocratic lawmaking from the Court's critics, numerous studies of the Court assert that it wields little real power. This book examines the nature of Supreme Court power by identifying conditions under which the Court is successful at altering the behavior of state and private actors. Employing a series of longitudinal studies that use quantitative measures of behavior outcomes across a wide range of issue areas, it develops and supports a new theory of Supreme Court power. 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$zUnited States$xHistory$vSources 606 $aJudgments$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$xSources 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power$xHistory 615 0$aJudgments$xHistory. 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a347.73/26 700 $aHall$b Matthew Eric Kane$01844092 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967304803321 996 $aThe nature of Supreme Court power$94426256 997 $aUNINA
