Constitutional Law	1980	18	.pdf	application/pdf	8295	397	54	Constitutional Law In the two centuries of America's history, courts considering constitutional questions have intruded into social, economic, and political areas by relying on the equal protection clause, the due pro- cess clause, the contract clause, and the commerce clause or by liberally construing constitutional provisions to fit their policies. Some commentators have observed that the courts are becoming less intrusive in these areas and are deferring such matters to the legislatures.^ According to Professor Bickel, this trend reflects the courts' limited ability to establish and implement policy in social, economic, and political areas.^ During the survey period, state and federal appellate courts in- terpreting Indiana law issued a number of controversial decisions which raised questions about the proper role of courts in determin- ing constitutional issues affecting social, economic, and political policies.	cache/inlawrev-2358.pdf	txt/inlawrev-2358.txt
