| Constitutional Morality and the Rise of Quasi-Law Subjects: Constitutional law -- United States; Constitutional history -- United States; Rule of law -- United States; Executive power -- United States; Delegated legislation -- United States; Progressivism (United States politics); Political ethics -- United States; Americans are increasingly ruled by an unwritten constitution consisting of executive orders, signing statements, and other forms of quasi-law that lack the predictability and consistency essential for the legal system to function properly. As a result, the U.S. Constitution no longer means what it says to the people it is supposed to govern, and the government no longer acts according to the rule of law. These developments can be traced back to a change in "constitutional morality," Bruce Frohnen and George Carey argue in this challenging book. Frohnen Bruce P. : Bruce P. Frohnen is Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University College of Law.Carey George W. : George W. Carey was Professor of Government, Georgetown University. |
