About this title

Synopsis

Arguing that minority rights were vitally important to the founding fathers, H. N. Hirsch presents an original and provocative look at issues such as affirmative action, abortion, and the rights of children, lesbians and gay men, mental patients, and the physically disabled. In an analysis which blends history, philosophy, law, and social science, Hirsch attacks both liberals who hide from history and conservatives who push for "original intent." He exposes the errors and hypocrisy of the current Supreme Court majority and argues that the Constitution's liberty can and should be interpreted to protect the rights of minority groups.

About the Author

H. N. Hirsch is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego.
