It is designed to meet the needs of professors of political science, government, history, and public policy by supplying a casebook that is at once accessible to study by virtue of generous chapter overviews, skillful case selection and editing, and extended introductions and following notes and questions. In addition, out of abundant respect for the rich intellectual tradition that exists within the university, this book fully reflects that Supreme Court cases emerge from history, and history itself reflects centuries of political and philosophical understanding.
Table of Contents includes:
The Philosophical and Natural Law Basis of the American Order: Remote and Immediate Ancestors;
Fashioning a Written Constitution from a Declared Natural Right;
A Structurally-Divided, but Workable, Government;
A Limited Government of Enumerated Power;
A Government Mindful of Dual Sovereignty. |
