The Civil Rights Revolution carries Bruce Ackerman’s sweeping reinterpretation of constitutional history into the era beginning with Brown v. Board of Education. From Rosa Parks’s courageous defiance, to Martin Luther King’s resounding cadences in “I Have a Dream,” to Lyndon Johnson’s leadership of Congress, to the Supreme Court’s decisions redefining the meaning of equality, the movement to end racial discrimination decisively changed our understanding of the Constitution.
Ackerman anchors his discussion in the landmark statutes of the 1960s: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Challenging conventional legal analysis and arguing instead that constitutional politics won the day, he describes the complex interactions among branches of government—and also between government and the ordinary people who participated in the struggle. He showcases leaders such as Everett Dirksen, Hubert Humphrey, and Richard Nixon who insisted on real change, not just formal equality, for blacks and other minorities.
The Civil Rights Revolution transformed the Constitution, but not through judicial activism or Article V amendments. The breakthrough was the passage of laws that ended the institutionalized humiliations of Jim Crow and ensured equal rights at work, in schools, and in the voting booth. This legislation gained congressional approval only because of the mobilized support of the American people—and their principles deserve a central place in the nation’s history. Ackerman’s arguments are especially important at a time when the Roberts Court is actively undermining major achievements of America’s Second Reconstruction.
Bruce Ackerman is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University.
阿克曼在讨论尼克松时期美国平权的进展时,突然温情脉脉来了一段,大谈不要忽略政客的公益心,颇有点古典主义的气味,与当下法学著作的画风略显违和。对照O Won-chol在“The Korean Story”一书中对朴总统的崇敬之情,觉得对于权威体制下的魅力型领袖,人们容易忽略与勤政为民并存的个人野心,以及为此野心会走多远;而在由选票和党派争竞主导的民主制中,则易忽略政客亦有超越私人野心天下为公的情怀。
评分讲1960年代民权运动时美国朝野互动推进的历史,算是脉络化分析宪法历史的代表作之一。语言十分流畅,用词也不晦涩,还好、还好。
评分作为全书的第三卷,阿克曼在本书中着重阐述了一个观点:宪法的概念不仅包含宪法本身,修正案,和貌似修正案其实并非按照宪法第五章通过的第十三-十五修正案(见第二卷),同样包含重要的法案。民权法案的第七章禁止了就业歧视,其后又禁止了住房歧视。在这两项法案中,美国人民对于宪法的理解发生了革命性的改变:宪法保障的“平等保护”不仅是针对国家,同样也在一些领域内针对个人。因此,虽然最高院并未形式上废除1883年民权案件中宣布的“state action doctrine”,但这个doctrine其实名存实亡。对最后一个观点,我并不完全赞同(详见response paper)。
