| description |
The Framers of the American Constitution were substantially influenced by
ancient history and classical political theory, as exemplified by their education,
the availability of classical readings, and their inculcation in classical republican
values. This book explores how the Framing generation deployed classical
learning to develop many of the essential structural aspects of the Constitution:
federalism, separation of powers, a bicameral legislature, independent courts,
and the war-making and foreign relations powers. Also examined are very contemporary
constitutional debates for which there were classical inspirations,
including: sovereign immunity, executive privilege, line-item vetoes, and the
electoral college. Combining techniques of intellectual history, classical studies,
and constitutional interpretation, this book makes a unique contribution to our
understanding of contemporary constitutionalism. |
