| 520 | |a The author measures the record of the three branches of government in protecting individual rights, and he finds that Congress, far more than the president of the Supreme Court, has defended the rights of blacks, women, children, Native Americans, and the religious. He conducts us through a history of struggles over individual rights, showing how the court has frequently failed at many critical junctures where Congress has acted to protect rights. He also proposes reforms that would strengthen not only the legislative branch's role in protecting individual rights under the Constitution, but also its standing in the democracy it serves.-- |c From publisher's description. | ||
