In his article “Winston Churchill on the American Constitution,” Gerard N. Magliocca (Robert H. McKinney School of Law) “provides the first comprehensive analysis of Winston Churchill’s views on American constitutional law.” Churchill was a “keen observer of constitution law” and his writings and speeches on the subject provide an “extensive commentary” on the American Constitution. The article studies Churchill’s views on the parallels between the legal principles of Britain and America, the practice of judicial review in the United States, and his concept that “the unequal distribution of constitutional principles can harm constitutional authority,” such as in the case of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Fifteenth Amendment.
The article is published in the St. John’s Law Review (94:3, Fall 2021). The law review’s website is here.
