Summary
Introduces the book’s argument: that constitutional law after 1937 was discernibly different from what had gone before, but that the change did not occur as a sharp break. Rather the Court extended the scope of its commitments to a Progressive vision of constitutional law, eventually starting to describe the US political system in pluralist rather than “public good” terms.
