One indeed finds among professors of constitutional law and federal judges the widespread belief that the scope of the First Amendment owes much of its incredible expansion over the last sixty years to Holmess judicial dissents in Abrams and Gitlow.In this book, John M. Kang offers the novel thesis that Holmess dissenting opinions in Abrams and Gitlow drew in part from a normative worldview structured by an idiosyncratic manliness, a manliness which was itself rooted in physical courage. In making this argument, Kang seeks to show how Holmess justification for the right of speech was a bid to proffer a philosophical commentary about the demands of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819004297504,"sku":"NEW0367593297","price":67.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91zxfsaiwVL.jpg?v=1781124185","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/oliver-wendell-holmes-and-fixations-of-manliness-0367593297","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
