Modern American constitutionalism, with its emphasis on executive power and judicial supremacy, obfuscates constitutional history. Because we have lost so much of that constitutional past, any explanation of a tradition that departs from contemporary norms now requires an act of historical recovery, of venturing into a different world with mentalities and beliefs far removed from today.

1 INTRODUCTION Drained peatlands are a substantial source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere (IPCC, 2019; Tiemeyer et al., 2016). A total of 22.5–50.9 million ha of peatlands worldwide have been drained for agricultural use (Leifeld & Menichetti, 2018; Tubiello et al., 2016). Although natural and restored peatlands show net uptake or only minor emissions of GHGs, present-day emissions from global drained peatlands are estimated to be 1.9–2.5 Gt CO2-eq.

. . . at first it seems incredible . . . that such-and-such a thing can be discovered, but after it has been discovered, it again seems incredible that it couldelude men for so long. – Francis Bacon, The New Organon (1620)To students new to the study of nineteenth-century American literature, it may seem that the field has been so thoroughly studied and catalogued that there can be very little left to discover about it. This could hardly be further from the truth.

* * * *As originally conceived, interposition rested on the idea that state legislatures were essential monitors of the equilibrium of federalism—and a state legislature’s declaration that acts of the federal government were misguided and even unconstitutional was a legitimate form of political resistance.
