{"product_id":"infinite-hope-and-finite-disappointment-elizabeth-reilly-9781935603009","title":"Infinite Hope and Finite Disappointment: The Story of the First Interpreters of the Fourteenth Amendment","description":"Infinite Hope and Finite Disappointment details the hopes and promises of the 14th Amendment in the historical, legal and sociological context within which it was framed. Part of the Reconstruction Amendments collectively known as \"The Second Founding,\" the 14th Amendment fundamentally altered the 1787 Constitution to protect individual right and altered the balance of power between the national government and the states. The work also shows how initial Supreme Court interpretations of the Amendment's reach hindered its applicability. Finally, the contributors investigate the current impact of the 14th Amendment. The book is divided into three parts: \"Infinite Hope: The Framers as First Interpreters;\" \"Finite Disappointment: The Supreme Court as First Interpreter;\" and \"Never Losing Infinite Hope: The People as First Interpreters.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935603000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935603009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Akron Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012","brand":"Elizabeth Reilly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075170398463,"sku":"9781935603009","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6285c97c-17f5-42e5-8e0e-49988d2dc4c8.jpg?v=1685458009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/infinite-hope-and-finite-disappointment-elizabeth-reilly-9781935603009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
