The book focuses on the decline of the Founding generation&#8217;s elitist vision of the Constitution and the rise of a more &#8216;democratic&#8217; vision premised on the exclusion of women and non-whites. It incorporates recent scholarship on topics ranging <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2019\/02\/Leonard-and-Cornell-Book-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57026 alignright\" width=\"180\" height=\"270\" \/><span>from judicial review to popular constitutionalism to place judicial initiatives like Marbury vs Madison\u00a0in a broader, socio-legal context. The book recognizes the role of constitutional outsiders as agents in shaping the law, making figures such as the Whiskey Rebels, Judith Sargent Murray, and James Forten part of a cast of characters that has traditionally been limited to white, male elites such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Marshall. Finally, it shows how the &#8216;democratic&#8217; political party came to supplant the Supreme Court as the nation&#8217;s pre-eminent constitutional institution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the publication of this timely and significant book, we have invited distinguished scholars to comment on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction and Welcome<\/strong> by Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moderator:<\/strong><br \/>\nKris Collins, Boston University School of Law<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commentators:<\/strong><br \/>\nWilliam Forbath, University of Texas School of Law<br \/>\nBruce Mann, Harvard Law School<br \/>\nCynthia Nicoletti, University of Virginia School of Law<\/p>\n<p><em>All \u2013 including not only professors, law students, graduate students, and undergraduates, but also alumni and the general public \u2013 are welcome to attend the symposium.
