Death Penalties : The Supreme Court's Obstacle Course

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Does the Supreme Court have the authority to deprive the people of the right to govern themselves? Marshaling a convincing array of historical sources, Raoul Berger demonstrates in Death Penalties that the Framers of the Constitution withheld such power from the Court and that its death penalty decisions unconstitutionally impose the Justices' morals upon an unwilling people. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
