In the contemporary constitutional discourse many proponents of unconstrained or majoritarian decision-making, like Jeremy Waldron6 and Richard Bellamy,7 combine these argumentative strategies.

Chapter 5 will develop what can be called a theory of weak judicial review. In doing so, I will deviate from the established terminological conventions of the literature in one important respect. Simply put, according to the established convention, the hallmark of strong judicial review is judicial supremacy, that is, that courts have the final say in constitutional disputes, their interpretation cannot be overridden by the ordinary legislative process. By contrast, in the terminology of my book, strong judicial review entails not only (1) judicial supremacy, but also (2) the broad scope (rights-based), and (3) the robust exercise of judicial review.
