Jacob Weinrib is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Law at Queen's University, Ontario. His research interests include legal theory and comparative public law.

'The author must be applauded for bringing fundamental questions of legal theory to bear on our controversies about constitutionalism and judicial review. His clarity of thought and precision of language combine to make this work a real pleasure to read. In summary, it is a stimulating and accomplished achievement, making a very welcome addition to the Cambridge Studies in Constitutional Law. It is a work of theory that, like all good theory, draws extensively on constitutional practice - especially German and Canadian practice - by way of illustration. That well-judged combination of theory and practice enables the book to make a fine contribution to both legal and constitutional theory - if indeed these disciplines are, on the correct view of the matter, actually distinguishable.'
