Reviews

'Richards' interpretive theory is persuasive. His broad, humanistic, interdisciplinary approach is a very attractive one. There is much material for thought here.' Roberta Sue Alexander, University of Dayton, History, Summer 1992 'Richards' thesis is obviously contentious, but its impressive exposition may well have judicial conservatives reeling as they find themselves hoist on their own petard.' Robert J. McKeever, University of Reading, American Politics Review, No.24, September 1990


Richard's interpretive theory is persuasive. His broad, humanistic, interdisciplinary approach is a very attractive one. There is much material for thought here. --History Richards' thesis is obviously contentious, but its impressive exposition may well have judicial conservatives reeling as they find themselves hoist on their own petard. American Politics Review This volume is scholarly and well written, and it advances new and compelling methodologies in legal analysis. It is a significant step forward and highly recommended. --The Annals of the American Academy of Political Science His presentation of the framers' understanding of political psychology in support of this claim is illuminating and his book provides a valuable source of references to works in constitutional history and theory. --Ethics Within the voluminously accumulating literature resulting not only from the bicentennial celebrations of our political institutions but also from the growing contemporary concerns about human rights and fundamental laws, Richards' though-provoking, well-argued, and scholarly work on American constitutionalism wins high place. Transactions of the C.S. Pierce Society
