Andrew Jackson and the Constitution: The Rise and Fall of Generational Regimes
"This is a truly distinguished contribution to our constitutional understanding, combining theory and history in an exemplary fashion. If you are going to read one book about our Constitution this year, read Magliocca's." Bruce Ackerman, author of The Failure of the Founding Fathers: Jefferson, Marshall, and the Rise of Presidential Democracy "A perceptive book that offers a valuable, fresh look at both Jacksonian Democracy and the interpretation of the Constitution." Donald B. Cole, author of The Presidency of Andrew Jackson "A provocative and much needed reassessment of constitutional change in the Age of Jackson." R. Kent Newmyer, author of John Marshall and the Heroic Age of the Supreme Court"
