In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

xi Acknowledgments The editors of this volume gratefully acknowledge the assistance that their project received from several sources. Ralph Ketcham of Syracuse University provided valuable advice at a key stage and kindly agreed to add a foreword to the book. Sean O’Brien and Jen Howell, at James Madison’s Montpelier, organized two important conferences associated with the project . Christine Jacobs of Brookings handled additional outreach activities. Our work would not have been possible without the financial support of the late Robert H. Smith, who generously backed a series of joint initiatives between Brookings and Montpelier’s Center for the Constitution. Our work also was supported by the Brookings Institution/Washington University Academic Venture Fund; Ashley Bennett of Brookings helped coordinate that effort. At the Brookings Institution Press, Janet Walker admirably managed the editorial process and Eileen Hughes edited the manuscript. 00-2414-8 fm.indd 11 9/12/12 2:17 PM 00-2414-8 fm.indd 12 9/12/12 2:17 PM ...
