In 'Who Decides', Jeffrey S. Sutton makes the case that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in establishing the structure of the 51 American governments.

Sutton aims to correct this imbalance and to illustrate the virtues of federalism for all Americans and for all pressing matters of government.
