  • Review of the Birth of the Bill of Rights by Robert Allen Rutland
    19561 BOOK REVIEWS The Birth of the Bill of Rights. By Robert Allen Rutland. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1955. Pp. 243. $5.00. The federal Bill of Rights is one of the most cherished documents in our national hagiography. Its clauses have been invoked by contending parties in every crisis of our history. Every sort of minority interest has sought se- curity in its generous phrases. Its meaning has long been the subject of in- tense controversy among lawyers and judges. The judicial gloss upon its words and phrases has attained enormous proportions. Yet in spite of all this, surprisingly little scholarly work has been done on the history of the Bill of Rights.1 The interest of American historians in constitutional history, once so pronounced, seems to have spent itself. Such newer pastures as those of in- tellectual and business history appear to be greener. It is a long time since our historians have produced a significant new work in the field of constitu- tional history. Political scientists and legal scholars are gradually moving in to fill the vacuum.2 We have had, of course, a number of historical studies of particular aspects of civil liberties,3 but we have never had a thorough, criti- cal, substantial, scholarly study of the origins of the American Bill of Rights. In fact, Rutland's treatise, The Birth of the Bill of Rights, is, to my knowl- edge, the first book-length study by a historical scholar ever written on the subject. While Rutland should be given credit for making the attempt, his book does not by any means fill this gap in historical scholarship.

  • The Inefficiency of Splitting the Bill*
    The Economic Journal, 114 (April), 265–280. Ó Royal Economic Society 2004. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. THE INEFFICIENCY OF SPLITTING THE BILL* Uri Gneezy, Ernan Haruvy and Hadas Yafe When agents are ascribed selfish motives, economic theory points to grave inefficiencies resulting from externalities. We study a restaurant setting in which groups of diners are faced with different ways of paying the bill. The two main manipulations are splitting the bill between the diners and having each pay individually. We find that subjects consume more when the cost is split, resulting in a substantial loss of efficiency. Diners prefer the individual pay to the inefficient split-bill method. When forced to play according to a less preferred set of rules, they minimise their individual losses by taking advantage of others. Economic theory is unambiguous in its prediction that if externalities exist, out- comes are likely to be inefficient when agents selfishly maximise. The literature on externalities, as well as its derivatives in public goods, tragedy of the commons and moral hazard studies, has shown that externalities lead to inefficient levels of production and consumption. This result depends crucially on the general assumption taken by such studies that human agents maximise selfish payoffs without regard for others. With the emergence of behavioural economics, economists have come to question whether people actually ignore costs imposed on others when reaching economic decisions. If altruism is common, the various proposals in the literature to solve externality problems may be unnecessary or even harmful.

The Politics of Women's Wrongs and the Bill of "Rights": A Bicentennial Perspective Mary E. Beckert The language of the Bill of Rights is almost entirely gender neutral and its provisions have always applied to some women.' But free white men of property designed the Bill of Rights in a political process from which they excluded most Americans and all women. Not surprisingly, the Bill of Rights served and serves the interests of such men better than the interests of others. Legal constitutional literature, whether from the right or the left, tends to be celebratory rather than critical. But in looking back on the Bill of Rights during this bicentennial year, women and many men outside the propertied white male class should be ambivalent. In this Article, I assess the Bill of Rights from the per- t Professor of Law, The University of Chicago Law School.
