Alexander Mordecai Bickel was an American legal scholar who promoted a conservative interpretation of the United States Constitution. One of the most influential constitutional commentators of the twentieth century, his writings emphasize judicial restraint.
"There are great virtues in a conservative attitude towards structural features of government. The sudden abandonment of institutions is an act that reverberates in ways no one can predict and many come to regret."
