Review

"In this important and well-written book, Vincent Samar rethinks the relationships between legal and political philosophy in constitutional interpretation. His understanding of the existing literature is always intelligent and his arguments well made. He brings the reader ably into contact with some of the most engaging and absorbing issues of American public life."--David A. J. Richards, author of Foundations of American Constitutionalism "Samar's understanding of the connections among moral, political, and legal philosophy vividly exposes the weaknesses of much of the contemporary literature. Students, teachers, and legal practitioners will find this a useful and rewarding work."--Raymond Belliotti, author of Justifying Law
