"A year after the publication of Dicey's LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION, William Gladstone was reading it aloud in the House of Commons, citing it as authority. It remains, to this day, a starting point for the study of the English Constitution and comparative constitutional law. THE LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION elucidates the guiding principles of the modern constitution of England: the legislative sovereignty of Parliament, the rule of law, and the binding force of unwritten conventions. Dicey's goal was ""to provide students with a manual which may impress these leading principles on their minds, and thus may enable them to study with benefit in Blackstone's Commentaries and other treatises of the like nature those legal topics which, taken together, make up the constitutional law of England."""

Reviews for Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution

A writer with the ability to make you think. . . . Few express better the sheer perplexity of Americans today. -- The New York Times Book Review <br> Eminently worth reading. . . . More than the reporting--often brilliant--and more than the access to insiders, it is [Friedman's] ability to see a few big truths steadily and whole that makes him the most important columnist in America today. -- The New York Times <br> For historical context, both before and after September 11, I can't think of a more useful and informative book. --Susan Larson, The Times-Picayune <br> A valuable work. . . . Few writers have a better grasp than Thomas L. Friedman of the dimensions of America's war on terrorism. . . . He is a brilliant reporter [who] has revolutionized foreign-affairs punditry. -- The Baltimore Sun <br> A writer with the ability to make you think. . . . Few express better the sheer perplexity of Americans today. - The New York Times Book Review<br> <br> For historical context, both before and after September 11, I can't think of a more useful and informative book. -Susan Larson, The Times-Picayune<br> <br> A valuable work. . . . Few writers have a better grasp than Thomas L. Friedman of the dimensions of America's war on terrorism. . . . He is a brilliant reporter [who] has revolutionized foreign-affairs punditry. - The Baltimore Sun<br> <br> Eminently worth reading. . . . It is Friedman's ability to see a few big truths steadily and whole that makes him the most important columnist in America today. -Walter Russell Mead, The New York Times<br> <br> Top-notch. . . . Well-researched, original thinking. - USA Today<br> <br> Illuminating. . . . Eye-opening. - The HoustonChronicle<br> <br> Enormously valuable. . . . Passionate . . . informed. - San Jose Mercury News<br> <br> Essential reading for anyone keeping track of world events. . . . Eminently helpful in understanding the great divide yawning between the Western and Arab worlds. - Kirkus Reviews, starred review <br> A readable guide to the issues and arguments facing American policymakers. - The Economist<br> <br> An invaluable reporter's perspective on the world from outside U.S. borders. . . . Lucid . . . exceptionally frank and convincing . . . insightful. - Publishers Weekly, starred review<br> <br> Fascinating reading. . . . Shockingly clear and prescient. . . . Probably no one else-journalist or diplomat-has pursued the complex threads of this story as relentlessly as Friedman. - BookPage<br> <br> When the world changed last September, it was Friedman, more than any other journalist, who was there to explain what happened and why. . . . To read [Longitudes and Attitudes] is to relive an anguishing year in world history but also to witness a more human-size drama: Through these dispatches, you see a man trying to explain the unthinkable not only to his readers but to himself. - Rolling Stone<br> <br> Insightful . . . a good example of why he won [three Pulitzer Prizes]. . . . Reading Friedman at any time is a delight. - Wisconsin State Journal <br>
