9781330744109: The American Constitutional System

Synopsis

This book examines the philosophical, constitutional, and political foundations of the American state. The author takes a fresh approach to the question of the nature of the American state, arguing that it is neither a confederation of sovereign states nor a unitary state, but rather a unique type of political organization that combines elements of both. The author traces the development of the American state from its origins in the colonial era to the present day, and examines the key debates and controversies that have shaped its evolution. The book also explores the relationship between the federal government and the states, and the role of the Constitution in maintaining the balance of power between them. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, politics, or law of the United States.
