  • First Among Equals

    The Supreme Court in American Life

    by Kenneth W. Starr ...

Now Kenneth W. Starr-who served as clerk for one chief justice, argued twenty-five cases as ... Read more

    Why State Constitutions Contain America's Positive Rights

    by Emily Zackin ...
    Series series Princeton Studies in American Politics
    Unlike many national constitutions, which contain explicit positive rights to such things as education, a living wage, and a healthful environment, the U.S. Bill of Rights appears to contain only a long list of prohibitions on government.
