"This timely book offers a novel and highly sophisticated
assessment of constitutional change as ‘revolution.’ Its depth of
analysis and challenging findings will ensure its status as a
benchmark for future research in a burgeoning field."—Stephen
Tierney,University of Edinburgh
“This masterful and provocative book forces us to rethink the key
concept of constitutional revolution. It provides an essential
contribution to the understanding of contemporary constitutional
transformations."—Michel Rosenfeld, Yeshiva University
"The concept of 'constitutional revolution' is at once pervasive in
scholarly literature and difficult to grasp. Jacobsohn and Yaniv
Roznai provide a truly illuminating analysis of this complex
subject. Their book, deeply rooted in close and consistently
fascinating examinations of constitutional revolutions and
counter-revolutions, must be read and grappled with by anyone
interested in the fundamentals of constitutional theory and
development."—Sanford Levinson, author of An Argument Open to All:
Reading The Federalist in the 21st Century
“Constitutional revolutions in a moment or step-by-step? Only by
‘The People’ or perhaps by the courts? This challenging and
valuable work shows that answering these and related questions
leads us to consider fundamental matters of constitutional identity
and constitutionalism itself.”—Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School
