Books by John W. (Professor Winkle III

In The Mississippi State Constitution, John W. Winkle explores constitutional meaning in Mississippi, both past and present, and shows how, through their own interpretations, judges and other government actors have shaped that meaning. This book illustrates how the popular will of the moment, through constitutional reform conventions or approved amendments, may have both intended and unintended consequences for generations to come. Whether a constitution isa document of power or of limitation is an ageless and important question.
