Local Values at Risk: Judicial Review Threatens Community Diversity
The article discusses how different communities have different values and laws, and how judicial review can impact local identity by either standardizing norms or imposing the reviewers' beliefs. The researchers question whether judicial review threatens local identity by homogenizing community norms. They argue that while judicial review can pose a threat, it is important to understand the risks and benefits of respecting community values and preventing homogenization. The Constitution allows for legal experiments that reflect local values, raising the question of how much flexibility exists for communities to shape their own laws.
