Understanding the evolving U.S. Constitution By Phillip Carter Yale law professor Jack Balkin has a brilliant new article titled "What Brown Teaches Us About Constitutional Theory" in the new issue of the Virginia Law Review that I highly recommend. It offers seven significant lessons to be learned about the relationship between the Constitution, major Supreme Court decisions and societal change. Prof. Balkin makes some extremely profound arguments regarding the relationship between litigation, direct action, legislation and social change, and offers some interesting commentary on the ways various social movements have exploited these methods to their advantage (or disadvantage). The article is also a very good read (especially for a law review article) -- it's accessible to anyone who's familiar with Constitutional law and American history. Check it out.[PDF] yale.edu
