The Congressional Experience
by David Eugene Price
Taking the Constitution Away from the Courts
by Mark V. Tushnet
Here a leading scholar in constitutional law, Mark Tushnet, challenges hallowed American traditions of judicial review and judicial supremacy, which allow, U.S. judges to invalidate "unconstitutional" government actions. Many people, particularly liberals, have "warm and fuzzy" feelings about judicial review. They are nervous about what might happen to unprotected constitutional provisions in the chaotic worlds of practical politics and everyday life. By examining a wide range of situations involving constitutional rights, Tushnet vigorously encourages us all to take responsibility for protecting our liberties. Guarding them is not the preserve of judges, he maintains, but a commitment of the citizenry to define itself as "We the People of the United States." The Constitution belongs to us collectively, as we act in political dialogue with each other--whether in the street, in the voting booth, or in the legislature as representatives of others.

Institutions and Ethnic Politics in Africa

Gandhi
by Lloyd I. Rudolph
The key to Gandhi's political influence was his ability to realize in both his daily life and his public actions, cultural ideals that many Indians honored but could not enact themselves. Appealing to shared expectations and recognitions, Gandhi was able to revitalize tradition while simultaneously breaking with some if its entrenched values, practices, and interests. One result was a self-critical, ethical, and inclusive nationalist movement that eventually led to independence.
