"The book…continues to be both a useful and stimulating guide to the major problems of constitutional interpretation. No one reading it could fail to see one of the central issues of political science in a clearer light."(Public Law) "Professor McWhinney has added a significant and indispensable book to the small stock of creative scholarship in an area of major importance. The importance of his contribution lies in the skill and clarity with which he has been able to fit what was already known into a persuasive and powerful argument."(Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science) "His book is careful, sound, and thoughtful; it is always vigorous and interesting; in places it is brilliant. McWhinney is to be congratulated on a real comparative analysis of a highly significant governmental process; his portrayal of the similarities and differences in the system of judicial review in these several countries is competent and stimulating." (The Southwestern Social Science Quarterly) "By writing this comprehensive and simulating book Professor McWhinney has earned the gratitude and admiration of all those who are interested in the study of comparative constitutional law problems."- M. Ramaswamy, Advocate, Bangalore, India (University of Toronto Law Journal) "…this interesting and provocative book…a scholarly treatise from which the author emerges as the unrepentant advocate of a legal philosophy which should secure the constant adjustment of legal doctrine to changing conditions of society." (The Canadian Bar Review)
