The Interpretable Constitution Reviews
In the best tradition of political philosophy, Will Harrisaims to make us puzzle over things taken for granted and to awaken a sense of wonder about the whole enterprise of written constitutionalism. His book often succeeds in provoking the uneasy feeling that time-honored categories of constitutional analysis are radically inadequate. This alone is a profound achievement.--Stephen Macedo, 'American Political Science Review'
