"Overall, a solid book. The historical underpinnings of judicial review are well researched. Kramer gets a little shaky on the modern day acceptance of judicial review, however. His link between the popular constitutionalism of the early republic to the acquiescence to judicial review today is weak, because popular constitutionalism does not play an active role in our civic lives any more (for better or worse, you decide)."
"There are a number of historical inaccuracies and/or logical extensions that border on the absurd. It's a well-crafted book, but the argument is flawed (to say the least)"
"Interesting study of how "the people" are meant to be part of the Constitution at work. Great story about a crowd stoning Hamilton on Wall Street when he suggested that the President had power to issue executive orders without review by the Congressional representatives of the people."
