![]() | The Constitution of Empire: Territorial Expansion and American Legal History The Constitution of Empire offers a constitutional and historical survey of American territorial expansion from the founding era to the present day. The authors describe the Constitution's design for territorial acquisition and governance and examine the ways in which practice over the past two hundred years has diverged from that original vision. Gary Lawson is professor of law at Boston University Law School, and a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Guy Seidman is assistant professor at The Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel. |
