This week at Balkinization we are hosting a symposium on Dan Carpenter's new book, Democracy by Petition: Popular Politics in Transformation, 1790–1870 (Harvard University Press, 2021).
We have assembled a terrific group of commentators, including Frances Lee (Princeton), Sanford Levinson (Texas), Julie Suk (Fordham), and Robert Tsai (B.U.).
At the conclusion, Dan will respond to the commentators.
