Book Talk with Professor David Sloss
Join ACS Wednesday, March 19 at 12pm in Silverman 240B for a book talk from Professor David Sloss. His book, titled “People v. The Court: The Next Revolution in Constitutional Law,” presents a normative theory of judicial review that builds on John Hart Ely’s theory. Professor Sloss’s book argues that the current framing of constitutional law omits a key structural feature of the Constitution: the division of power between We the People and our government. Constitutional rights doctrine focuses on negative, individual rights, thus ignoring one crucial right: the affirmative, collective right of We the People to exercise control over our government. His theory divides constitutional issues into three baskets: rights, structure, and democratic self-government, assigning each a different standard of judicial review.
