THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE OF JURIS- PRUDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES EDWARD JAMES WOODHOUSE* Ignorance of Jurisprudence is one of the greatest weaknesses of this Nation. Jurisprudence is the Science of Law. All students of Jurisprudence are in as complete agreement on this general definition of their subject as they and all others using the terms are in disagree- ment and uncertainty in answering the next questions, namely, what is science and what is law. Workers in the Natural Sciences, espe- cially in those known as the Experimental or Laboratory Sciences, have resented and protested the use of the term Social Sciences to designate History, Economics, Political Science or Government or Politics, Sociology and allied studies, and have insisted upon known laws, certain and susceptible of objective and mathematical proof, predictability, possibility of experimentation or other characteristics as necessary to a real science.

POLITICAL JURISPRUDENCE MARTIN LOUGHLIN I: INTRODUCTION Political jurisprudence is a discipline that explains the way in which governmental authority is constituted. It flourished within European thought in the period between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries and since the twentieth century has been in decline. That decline, attributable mainly to an extending rationalization of life and thought, has led to governmental authority increasingly being expressed in technical terms. And because many of the implications of this development have been masked by the growth of an academic disciplinary specialization that sacrifices breadth of understanding for depth of knowledge, sustaining the discipline has proved difficult.

  • Testing Civics: State-Level Civic Education Requirements and Political Knowledge
    Testing Civics: State-Level Civic Education Requirements and Political Knowledge Professor David E. Campbell Department of Political Science 217 O’Shaughnessy Hall University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN 46556 Phone: 574-631-7809/ Fax: 574-631-4405 [email protected] Professor Richard G. Niemi Department of Political Science University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 Phone: 585-275-5364/Fax: 585-271-1616 niemi@[email protected] Forthcoming, American Political Science Review Abstract Do state-level exams in civics have an impact on young people’s civic knowledge? We hypothesize that civics exams have the biggest effect in states where they matter most—i.e., where they are a requirement for high school graduation—the incentive hypothesis. We further hypothesize that civics requirements have the biggest effect on young people with less exposure to information about the U.S. political system at home, specifically Latinos and, especially, immigrants—the compensation hypothesis. We test these hypotheses with two sources of data—first, from high school students with the 2006 and 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) civics test, and second, from a large national survey of 18-24 year-olds. Across the two datasets, we find modest support for the incentive hypothesis and strong support for the compensation hypothesis. 1 Policymakers and political scientists alike have long recognized the importance of formal civic education for youth.1 Currently, “each state’s constitution or public education establishment statutes and codes acknowledge the civic mission of schools” (Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools 2015). Historically, schools have served as the key institution to educate immigrants about the nation’s system of governance and thus equip them for involvement in the nation’s political life (Gutmann 1999; Hochschild and Scovronick 2003; Macedo 2005).

Political History Today Stefano Cavazza Suspicious Brothers: Reflections on Political History and Social Sciences Abstract This article analyses the relationship between history and the social sciences. Histo- rians and social scientists were long regarded as separate or even opposite in their methodological and analytical approaches. The opening of the historians’ ranks to- wards the social sciences became strongly apparent between the two world wars when the group of historians associated with the journal «Les Annales» set out to replace the «traditionally oriented narrative of events» by a «problem-oriented analytical his- tory». The 1980s were also the time when the «linguistic turn» spread to the historical studies, paving the way for cooperation with other subjects, but also complicating relations with some sectors of the social sciences. Social and political phenomena have a historical dimension which needs to be reckoned with. Collaboration presupposes recognising the respective scientific premises, and not falling into methodological monism.

A Sociology of Constituent Power: The Political Code of Transnational Societal Constitutions CHRISTOPHER THORNHILL* ABSTRACT This articleproceeds from a critical sociological revision of classical constitutional theory. In particular, it argues for a sociological reconstructionof the central concepts of constitutional theory: constituent power and rights. These concepts, it is proposed, first evolved as an internal reflexive dimension of the modern political system, which acted originally to stabilize the political system as a relatively autonomous aggregate of actors, adapted to the differentiated interfaces of a modern society. This revision of classical constitutional theory provides a basis for a distinctive account of transnational constitutionalpluralism or societal constitutionalism. The article argues that the construction of transnational normative orders needs to be placed, in a sociological dimension, on a clearer continuum with classical constitutional models.
