By Edward J. Erler Copyright 1991

    First Published in 1991. This is a collection of essays which address themselves to the American concern for constitutional government and its attendant political liberty. Against a backdrop of the current international movement towards establishing new governing orders, this work explains the principles of the American founding and the politics which established them and now flow from them.

    Natural right in the American founding; majority rule and the public good; the constitution and the separation of powers; the separation of powers in the administrative state; equal protection and personal rights - the regime of the "discrete and insular minority".
