'''Semblances of Sovereignty''' is a book by [[T. Alexander Aleinikoff]] that deals with the [[U.S. Constitution]], the conditional state of the [[US State]]'s and the [[US Citizenship]] since the end of the 19th century. Alexander argues that citizenship should be "decentered" and understood as a commitment to an intergenerational national project, not a basis for denying rights to immigrants. |

==Summary== |
|||
Semblances of Sovereignty supports the idea of abandonment from plenary power cases and advocates a new flexible conception for [[sovereignty]] and [[citizenship]]. According to [[T. Alexander Aleinikoff]], the federal government ought to negotiate compacts with Indian tribes and the territories that affirm more durable forms of self-government. The book also accounts a beautiful narrative about a certain [[World Fair]]. |
