"Bruce Ackerman's path-breaking book on Revolutionary Constitutions: Charismatic Leadership
and the Rule of Law puts him at the centre of the major subjects in public law today.
From the promise and perils of populism to the causes and consequences of democratic
backsliding, from the optimal models of constitutional design to the forms and limits
of constitutional amendment, and from the role of courts in constitutional democracy
to how we identify when the mythical "people" have spoken. Ackerman's pioneering book
was the focus of a major international conference held at the Yale Law School. The
conference convened leading scholars in public law to engage critically with Ackerman's
thesis. Some advanced it, others attacked it, and still others refined it-but all
agreed that the ideas in the book reset the terms of debate on the most important
questions in constitutionalism today. This collection, edited by Richard Albert, emerges
from the lively conference, and features a rebuttal chapter by Ackerman in which he
responds directly to review essays by authors."
