  abstract = { <p>Constitutional theory as an academic enterprise should extend well beyond the effort to justify and guide Supreme Court decisions. Constitutional theory is better understood as a branch of political science than as a branch of legal advocacy. It raises an array of normative, conceptual and empirical questions about how constitutional systems can and should operate and what functions constitutions might serve within politics.</p> },
