Summary "This book demonstrates that rights of individuals in the criminal justice system, workplace, and school were the endpoint of a succession of progressive-spirited ideological and political campaigns of statebuilding and reform. In advancing this vision of constitutional development, this book integrates the developmental paths of civil liberties law into an account of the rise of the modern state and the reformist political and intellectual movements that shaped and sustained it. In doing so, Constructing Civil Liberties provides a vivid, multilayered, revisionist account of the genealogy of contemporary constitutional law and morals."--Jacket.
