Democracy and distrust
Book • 1981
In 'Democracy and Distrust', John Hart Ely critiques traditional approaches to constitutional interpretation and offers a fresh perspective on judicial review.
He argues that the Supreme Court should focus on procedural due process and safeguarding democratic structures rather than imposing social values.
This approach balances majority rule with minority protection, making it responsive to changing societal needs.
