Description

"Recovering the Constitution" is not merely another critique of the Supreme Court's misuse of the Fourteenth Amendment. Instead, this book presents a groundbreaking argument for states to reclaim their authority to safeguard fundamental rights through the Ninth Amendment. Fowler, a lawyer and former legislator, challenges the prevailing Supreme Court "rights jurisprudence" and calls for a return to the Constitution's common law foundation. In a timely exploration, he questions the recent revisitation of the fetal viability standard, urging a revival of the federal system and states' role in preserving ancient rights.
