Forging New Freedoms
In several landmark decisions during the mid-1920s, the U.S. Supreme Court significantly expanded the scope of the Constitution's protection of individual freedom by striking down state laws designed to repress or even destroy privateøand parochial schools. Forging New Freedoms explains the origins of na-tivistic hostility toward German and Japanese Americans, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and other groups whose schools became the object of assaults during and shortly after World War I. The book explores the campaigns to restrict foreign language instruction and to require compulsory public education. It also examines the background of Meyer v. Nebraska and Farrington v. Tokushige, in which t...
The Constitution and Economic Regulation
This study uses basic economic analysis as a technique to comment critically on the original meaning and the interpretation of those clauses of the Constitution that have particular bearing on the economy. Many new conclusions are markedly different from those of the Supreme Court and earlier commentators. Conant's view is that the commerce clause and the equal protection clause, if they had been construed consistently with their comprehensive original meanings, would have given much greater federal protection against state laws that impaire free markets. Economic policy for the nation was vested in Congress. To the extent that special interests could buy congressional favor for their antico...

The Supreme Court Reborn
For almost sixty years, the results of the New Deal have been an accepted part of political life. Social Security, to take one example, is now seen as every American's birthright. But to validate this revolutionary legislation, Franklin Roosevelt had to fight a ferocious battle against the opposition of the Supreme Court--which was entrenched in laissez faire orthodoxy. After many lost battles, Roosevelt won his war with the Court, launching a Constitutional revolution that went far beyond anything he envisioned. In The Supreme Court Reborn, esteemed scholar William E. Leuchtenburg explores the critical episodes of the legal revolution that created the Court we know today. Leuchtenburg deftl...

The Chief Justiceship of Charles Evans Hughes, 1930-1941
During the 1930s the U.S. Supreme Court abandoned its longtime function as an arbiter of economic regulation and assumed its modern role as a guardian of personal liberties. William G. Ross analyzes this turbulent period of constitutional transition and the leadership of one of its central participants in The Chief Justiceship of Charles Evans Hughes, 1930-1941.

Grenzgötter der Moral
Grenzgotter der Moral Die politische Gesellschaft der Demokratien braucht eine politische Ethik, die dem Machtrausch des beliebigen und destruktiven Moralisierens eine Grenze setzt, um so einer dynamischen und pluralistischen liberaldemokratischen Wirklichkeit auch gerecht werden zu konnen. Der Band "Grenzgotter der Moral" leistet genau dieses: Er analysiert die zentralen europaisch-amerikanischen Diskurse zur politischen Ethik und entwickelt daraus die Grundrisse einer neuen und eigenstandigen Ethikkonzeption, die praliberale und prapluralistische Reste endlich abstreifen kann. Dem Leser wird mit diesem Band gleichzeitig eine verstandliche, dabei umfassende und systematische Einfuhrung zu den entscheidenden Denkern und in alle wichtigen Fragen der modernen politischen Ethik vorgelegt. Der Inhalt Diskurs und Moralitat - Kommunitarische Moraltheorien - Differenzierungstheorien der Moral: Die neuen Grenzgotter Die Zielgruppen Politikwissenschaftler, Philosophen, Soziologen, Theologen; Studierende und Dozentender Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften Der Autor Prof. Dr. Walter Reese-Schafer lehrt Politikwissenschaft an der Universitat Gottingen.
