Whether 'we want more' rights or not, we would be lucky to have more scholarship from Zackin about the states' essential role in the American constitutional law tradition. --Jeffrey S. Sutton, Harvard Law Review This is an excellent contribution to the literature and yet another compelling reason that scholars should not limit themselves to only the federal Constitution and courts. --Choice Author InformationEmily Zackin is assistant professor of political science at Hunter College, City University of New York.
