Items related to Foundations of American Constitutionalism
In writing the constitution, the Founders combined a Lockean theory of politically legitimate power with the political science they had learned from Machiavelli, Harrington, Hume, and Montesquieu to articulate a new conception of constitutional argument. Examining the Founders' humanist analytical methods and working assumptions, this book combines history, political philosophy, and interpretive practice as it demonstrates an alternative exegesis of the Constitution. It clarifies a wide range of interpretive issues of federalism, enumerated rights (religious liberty and free speech), unenumerated rights (the constitutional right to privacy), and equal protection.

From the Back Cover:
The idea of Founders' intent continues to be a remarkably durable force in American constitutional interpretation. It is consequently necessary that any acceptable theory of the proper interpretation of the Constitution give weight and sense to this American practice.
