INTRODUCTION The American system provided a voice and a share in the economy to many more people than most of the old world societies. But decisively not everybody. . . . In a relatively open society, interest groups made politics, and politics made law. The squeaky wheels got the oil. Power led to privilege. Old people, transients, the feeble minded, dirt-poor and crippled families-all of these people stayed, by and large, at the bottom of the social pit.' * Juris Doctorate Candidate at Phoenix School of Law, Spring 2011.
