"Adam Brown's The Dead Hand's Grip provides a good introduction to variations in state constitutions and the broad impact of these documents in the states." -- Nancy Miller , The Journal of Federalism"Relying on sophisticated statistical analysis of America's state constitutions, The Dead Hand's Grip makes a helpful contribution to debates about the consequences of constitutional design, by showing that a constitution's length and specificity have important effects on governance and that longer, more detailed constitutions, often written in the 19th century, limit policy-makers' flexibility and reduce states' performance on various economic measures in the 21st century." -- John Dinan, author of State Constitutional Politics"The Dead Hand's Grip is a remarkable achievement in comparative analysis. By comparing the length of the constitutions of the 50 US states, Brown is able to control for a variety of social, economic, and cultural confounders that typically frustrate our ability to measure the effects of constitutions. Using time-series analysis, Brown shows that longer constitutions lead to more amendments, more judicial invalidations, and worse economic outcomes in terms of GDP per capita, unemployment, inequality, and innovation. Methodological precision, and a series of robustness checks make his results extremely persuasive. This is a landmark work in the study of constitutions." -- George Tsebelis, Anatol Rapoport Collegiate Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan"Adam Brown presents deep research and strong statistical evidence of the negative effects in states with overly specific (and therefore long) constitutions. This issue has vexed scholars for years, and his book sets the terms of the debate for years to come." -- Robert F. Williams, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University School of Law, and author of The Law of American State Constitutions"Adam Brown offers an important book on American constitutionalism. In The Dead Hand's Grip, Brown shows how detailed state constitutions restrain state lawmakers from responding to pressing social, economic, and political issues. Lawmakers often bridle against these restraints, clashing with state judges and passing new amendments, further constitutionalizing mundane policy issues. This over-specificity prevents lawmakers from securing socioeconomic goods. Using statistical analysis and wide-ranging examples, Brown convincingly demonstrates that constitutional specificity harms democratic legitimacy and policymaking." -- Robinson Woodward-Burns, author of Hidden Laws"This slim volume is a provocative examination of the challenges presented by specificity in US state constitutions...The methodological approaches are carefully explained and defended throughout the book. This look at state constitutions creates an interesting examination of the political systems operating in the American states." -- Choice, "Adam Brown's The Dead Hand's Grip provides a good introduction to variations in state constitutions and the broad impact of these documents in the states." -- Nancy Miller , The Journal of Federalism "Relying on sophisticated statistical analysis of America's state constitutions, The Dead Hand's Grip makes a helpful contribution to debates about the consequences of constitutional design, by showing that a constitution's length and specificity have important effects on governance and that longer, more detailed constitutions, often written in the 19th century, limit policy-makers' flexibility and reduce states' performance on various economic measures in the 21st century." -- John Dinan, author of State Constitutional Politics "The Dead Hand's Grip is a remarkable achievement in comparative analysis.

Synopsis
In The Dead Hand's Grip, Adam R. Brown examines constitutional specificity--or length--within American state constitutions as a new way to evaluate how different polities confront how to both control citizens and regulate themselves. He argues argues that constitutional specificity restricts state discretion, with three major results. First, it compels states to rely more frequently on burdensome amendment procedures, increasing constitutional amendment rates. Second, it increases judicial invalidation rates as state supreme courts enforce narrower limits on state action. Third and most importantly, it results in severely reduced economic performance, with lower incomes, higher unemployment, greater inequality, and reduced policy innovativeness generally. In short, long constitutions hurt states., In The Dead Hand's Grip , Adam R. Brown examines constitutional specificity--or length--as a new way to evaluate how different polities govern citizens and regulate themselves. As Brown shows, many states and nations bloat their constitutions with procedural and policy details that other polities leave to statutory or regulatory discretion. American state constitutions vary in length from under 9,000 to almost 400,000 words. Constitutional endurance has often provoked fears that the dead hand of the past may reach into the present; lengthy constitutions strengthen the dead hand's grip, binding states to a former generation's solutions to modern problems. Brown argues that excessive constitutional specificity restricts state discretion, with three major results. First, it compels states to rely more frequently on burdensome amendment procedures, increasing constitutional amendment rates. Second, it increases judicial invalidation rates as state supreme courts enforce narrower limits on state action. Third and most importantly, it results in severely reduced economic performance, with lower incomes, higher unemployment, greater inequality, and reduced policy innovativeness generally. In short, long constitutions hurt states. While Brown's analysis focuses on just one set of sub-national constitutions, their broad functions make his thesis relevant to those wanting to understand institutional variation between nations., In The Dead Hand's Grip, Adam R.
