Product Description
In The Supreme Court in American Politics, Richard Pacelle attempts to answer the question, "What is the proper role for an non-elected institution within a representative democracy?" He examines how non-elected judges should use their role of judicial review, and whether non-elected judges serve as protectors of the "insular minorities," i.e., those groups that lack access to political power. This book, a new title in the Dilemmas of American Politics series edited by Sandy Maisel, is a concise supplemental text for American Government and Judicial Politics courses.
About the Author
Richard Pacelle is a professor of American government at the University of Missouri.
