The book ""The Least Dangerous Branch: The Supreme Court At The Bar Of Politics"" is written by Alexander Mordecai Bickel. It is a comprehensive analysis of the role of the Supreme Court in the American political system. The author argues that the Supreme Court is the least dangerous branch of government because it lacks the power of the purse and the sword, and its decisions are not self-executing. Instead, the Court relies on the other branches of government and the public to enforce its decisions.Bickel examines the Court's role in interpreting the Constitution, its relationship with the other branches of government, and its impact on American society. He also discusses the Court's ability to shape public opinion and influence the political process. The book is a critical analysis of the Supreme Court's role in American democracy and raises important questions about the limits of judicial power.Overall, ""The Least Dangerous Branch"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a nuanced understanding of the Supreme Court's place in American politics.
