Kersch aCambridge :bCambridge University Press,c2004 aviii, 392 p. ;c24 cm. aIndeks : p.371 - 392 aThis is a book about the paths of constitutional development culminating in the US Supreme Court's landmark civil liberties and civil rights jurisprudence of the 1960s and 1970s. It demonstrates that rights of individuals in the criminals justice system, workplaces, and school were the endpoint of a succeesion of progresive-spirited ideological and political campaigns of statebuildings and reform. In advancing this vision of constitutional development, it integrates the developmental paths of civil liberties law into an account of the rise of the modern state and the reformist political and intellectual movements that shappes nad sustained it. It provides a vivid, multilayered, revisionist account of the genealogy of contemporary constitutional law and morals. It is, in the spirit of the works cited above - which, in the nature of things, is a revisionist spirit - aspires, in a context long set by the pull of New Deal constitutional Whiggism, to unsettle our wonted assumptions. 4aCivil Rights - United States - History a11587/MKRI-P/XII-2008
