Foley argues that the gaps in the explicitness of a constitution provide the means by which constitutional conflict is continually postponed. This point is illustrated with two severe crises - the English Civil War and the Nixon presidency. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of political theory, history and constitutional law.
