Reformulating a problem of both constitutionalism and liberalism discussed in the works of Ernst-Wolfgang B\u00F6ckenf\u00F6rde, Hannah Arendt, and Alexis de Tocqueville, the book examines one generally overlooked manifestation of constitutionalism: the role of the courts in shaping democratic politics and the inter-relationship between citizens and state.
