{"product_id":"the-silent-prologue-ofer-raban-9781942695202","title":"The Silent Prologue: How Judicial Philosophies Shape Our Constitutional Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Constitution contains a series of rights and liberties operating as restrictions on the powers of government, and courts have the final authority to determine what these often nebulous restrictions require. But judges are deeply divided over the correct methodology to follow in making these determinations: different judges employ different judicial philosophies--and may consequently reach different constitutional results. Understanding these methodological disagreements is therefore crucial for anyone wishing to attain a full understanding of our constitutional law, or to appraise the legitimacy of our institutional arrangements--especially that of judicial review. In \u003ci\u003eThe Silent Prologue, \u003c\/i\u003e Ofer Raban provides an engaging examination of the interpretive theories judges use to reach their verdicts. Using key case histories as illustration, Raban illuminates the rationales and assumptions behind competing judicial philosophies that have far-reaching implications for the rights of American citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDistributed for George Mason University Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ofer Raban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942695209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942695202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e George Mason University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Ofer Raban","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942636617983,"sku":"9781942695202","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d59ccdb8-dcab-454c-b1b1-a1907ded1d5e.jpg?v=1681493495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-silent-prologue-ofer-raban-9781942695202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
