Conscience and the Constitution

Focusing on the Reconstruction Amendments, the author explores their profound implications for American constitutionalism. By evaluating past interpretations and presenting a new perspective, he argues that these amendments represent a revival of rights-based constitutional principles. Integrating historical context, legal analysis, and political theory, the book extends its examination to the broader American constitutional framework, offering insights into the ongoing relevance of these foundational changes in the nation's legal and political landscape.
