Democracy and Constitutions: Putting Citizens First by Allan C. Hutchinson Paper

Description: Democracy and Constitutions by Allan C. Hutchinson Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Bold and unconventional, this book advocates for an institutional turn-about in the relationship between democracy and constitutionalism. Publisher Description As things stand, a commitment to weak democracy and strong constitutionalism ensures that a range of elite groups, actors, and institutions political, economic, intellectual, and legal hold considerable sway over constitutional matters, leaving less room for the participation of ordinary people. With the continued primacy of liberal constitutionalism, constitutional law has come to represent and facilitate the centrality of judicial power and authority. In Democracy and Constitutions, Allan C. Hutchinson warns against this deference to a legal elite on questions of constitutional meaning. For Hutchinson, an over-reliance on constitutional law, and a lack of attention to democratic politics, keeps people from influencing the moral and political character of society; it saps civic energies and relegates ordinary people to the sidelines.Engaging and provocative, Democracy and Constitutions charts a course away from the elitism of the present and toward a more democratic future, one that re-balances societys commitment to both democracy and constitutions. Advocating for a strong democracy and weak constitutionalism, this book places ordinary people at the institutional heart of government and politics, arguing that such a re-calibration is better for democracy and for society. Author Biography Allan Hutchinson is a distinguished research professor at the Osgoode Hall Law School, York University.
