This is the first book to combine constitutional theory with the theory of risk regulation. It argues that constitutional rulemaking is best understood as a means of managing political risks, advocates constitutional rulemaking undertaken in a spirit of welfare maximization, and offers a corrective to the pervasive distrust of official power that is prominent in American constitutional history and discourse.
