"In Enforcing Equality, Rebecca E. Zietlow assesses Congress's historical role in interpreting the Constitution and protecting the individual rights of citizens, challenging conventional wisdom that courts, not legislatures, are best suited for this role. This book argues that individual rights are best enforced by the political process because they express the values of our national community, and as such, litigation is no substitute for collective political action."--Jacket.
