It connects network influence to changing governance of social policy, judicial activism, federalism, and separation of powers. Across the chapters and parts, it traces arguments and institutional effects spanning firearms rights, campaign finance controversies, the anti-commandeering doctrine, and the judiciary’s role in defining law, concluding with directions for future research.","Ideas with Consequences  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nStudies in Postwar American Political Development  \nSteven Teles, Series Editor  \nSeries Board Members  \nJennifer Hochschild Desmond King Sanford Levinson  \nTaeku Lee  \nShep Melnick Paul Pierson John Skrentny Adam Sheingate Reva Siegel Thomas Sugrue  \nThe Delegated Welfare State: Medicare, Markets, and the Governance of Social Policy  \nKimberly J.
