Alternatively, countries could modify the electoral system to account for incumbency advantages -- the authors consider a version of Bruce Ackerman's "supermajoritarian escalator" in suggesting that incumbents should have to gain ever-higher shares of the voters each time they run for re-election (plurality in the first run, majority in the second, 55% in the third, and so on).The broader point is that, regardless of whether one generally thinks fixed executive… [read post]

The only time ideology came up in a negative way during numerous interviews with big-name New York and DC firms was when a conservative partner grilled me about the fact that I had been an RA for liberal Yale professor Bruce Ackerman (an exchange that didn’t end up costing me the offer, though I did get rejected on the grounds that the hiring committee thought I was too likely to become an academic, as also happened at several other firms).

This much is a lesson of recent scholarship by Bruce Ackerman, Reva Siegel, and Robert Post.New constitutional entitlements like the right to bear arms baptized in 2008, on this account, crest on waves of popular mobilization.Architectonic change to fundamental constitutional structures, familiar from Reconstruction and the New Deal, necessitates multiple political sallies by majorities engorged with populist fire.

In Bruce Ackerman's magisterial account of American constitutional history (Vol. 1 here; Vol. 2 here; no Vol. 3 yet), We the People make higher law during "constitutional moments"--that is, periods of heightened citizen engagement in politics--while during normal times, the People are largely absent from the political stage, represented only imperfectly by the democratic process.Ackerman's approach has two distinctive features.
