Social Reform And The Constitution (1911)

""Social Reform and the Constitution"" is a book written by Frank Johnson Goodnow and published in 1911. The book focuses on the relationship between social reform and the United States Constitution. Goodnow argues that the Constitution is a living document that must be interpreted in light of changing social and economic conditions. He believes that the government has a responsibility to address social issues such as poverty, inequality, and labor rights, and that the Constitution provides a framework for achieving these goals. Goodnow discusses various constitutional provisions and court cases that have influenced social reform, including the Fourteenth Amendment, the Commerce Clause, and the Lochner v. New York decision. He also examines the role of the federal government in social reform, particularly in the areas of education, public health, and labor regulation. Overall, ""Social Reform and the Constitution"" is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the relationship between constitutional law and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
