Description
People v. The Court presents a bold reimagining of constitutional law that challenges the judiciary’s monopoly on constitutional interpretation. David L. Sloss argues that empowering ordinary citizens to participate directly in constitutional decision-making is both desirable and necessary for a truly democratic society.
The book traces the evolution of constitutional law and demonstrates how courts have increasingly dominated the interpretation of our fundamental document. Sloss proposes concrete mechanisms through which the people can reassert their constitutional authority, including popular initiatives, referenda, and citizen assemblies. By examining historical precedents and contemporary examples, he shows that such democratic participation in constitutional matters is not only theoretically sound but practically feasible.
This transformative work challenges legal scholars, policymakers, and engaged citizens to reconsider the relationship between popular sovereignty and constitutional law. It offers a roadmap for the next revolution in American constitutional governance.
