- Summary:
- In this interpretation of America's founding and its entire process of judicial review, the author reveals that the colonists fought for and birthed a very different system, a system rooted in an understanding of citizenship that is very different from what Americans recognise today.

- What every true republican ought to depend on : rejecting judicial supremacy
- Notwithstanding this abstract view : the changing context of constitutional law
- To preserve the constitution, as a perpetual bond of union : the lessons of experience
