Dissent and the Supreme Court : Its Role in the Court's History and the Nation's Constitutional Dialogue


Description

In his major work, acclaimed historian and judicial authority Melvin Urofsky examines the great dissents throughout the Court's long history. Constitutional dialogue is one of the ways in which we as a people reinvent and reinvigorate our democratic society. The Supreme Court has interpreted the meaning of the Constitution, acknowledged that the Court's majority opinions have not always been right, and initiated a critical discourse about what a particular decision should mean and fashioning subsequent decisions--largely through the power of dissent. Urofsky shows how the practice grew slowly but steadily, beginning with the infamous & now overturned case of Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) during which Chief Justice Roger Taney's opinion upheld slaver and ending with the present age of incivility, in which reasoned dialogue seems less and less possible. Dissent on the court and off, Urofsky argues in this major work, has been a crucial ingredient in keeping the Constitution alive and must continue to be so.

The exercises in this activity book are linked to verbal reasoning, so they are permanently used, avoiding a mechanical writing style and preparing children for the production of texts according to their creativity, which is powerfully stimulated with verbal reasoning.

Cedric's school is electing class representatives for the first time. A prospect that appeals to the boy, but also several others children - including Chen, the little girl he's got a crush on. Difficult for Cedric to reconcile his feelings and his desire to win, especially since Chen is a strong-willed young lady who, story after story, shows a definite lack of interest for being window dressing! Fortunately there's Grandpa, his advice ...and his own blunders!
