adam_text | The South African Constitutional court has issued
internationally prominent decisions abolishing the
death penalty, enforcing socioeconomic rights, allowing
gay marriage, and promoting equality. These decisions are
striking given the country s apartheid past and the
absence of a grand human rights tradition. By contrast, the
U.S. supreme Court has generally ruled more conserva¬
tively on similar questions. This book examines the
constitutional court in detail to determine how it has
funrtioned during south Africa s transition and compares
its rulings to those of the U.S. Supreme Court on similar
rights issues. The book also analyzes the scholarly debate
about the constitutional court taking place in South
Africa, it furthermore addresses the arguments of those
international scholars who have suggested that consti¬
tutional courts do not generally bring about social change,
in the end, the book highlights a transformative prag¬
matic method of constitutional interpretation
-
a method
the U.S. Supreme Court could employ.
