Description: A constitutional analysis that focuses on the cognitive forms of the constitution’s key provisions and the cognitive forms of key constitutional cases. Changes in cognitions, after all, are what herald appropriate changes in the law, changes that ensure justice by updating established legal principles. Kreml explores the cognitive, dialectical structure of the Earl Warren Supreme Court and its similarity to the cognitive structures of the English Edward Coke period. He cognitively examines the Constitution’s primary debate – over the legitimacy of public encumbrances on private contracts – and reviews the cognitive similarity between Buckley v. Valeo (the case that denied campaign finance reform) and Dred Scott (the case that upheld slavery.) [from book flyleaf].
