“The Cult of the Constitution” by Mary Anne Franks

“The Cult of the Constitution” by Mary Anne Franks

In The Cult of the Constitution, Mary Anne Franks of the University of Miami School of Law explores “the thin line between constitutional fidelity and constitutional fundamentalism.”

In the book, Professor Franks addresses her concerns with “Constitutional fundamentalism” and the issues that arise when interpreting the Constitution in modern times, particularly the First Amendment. Professor Franks’ work concentrates on “how deep fundamentalist strains in both conservative and liberal American thought keep the Constitution in the service of white male supremacy.”
