Description: Ronald Kahn greatly revises our understanding of Supreme Court decisionmaking and its relation to constitutional theory in the eras of Chief Justices Earl Warren, Warren Burger, and William Rehnquist. In the process, he refutes the longstanding stereotypes of an activist Warren Court trying to legislate individual rights and of a visionless Burger Court hiding in its predecessor's shadows.

His study should help demystify for scholars and students alike the workings of the Court and its place in our democracy.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [295]-300) and index.
