The Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty
"Now the nation no longer lacks what it has long needed, a slender book that lucidly explains the intensity of conservatism's disagreements with progressivism. For the many Americans who are puzzled and dismayed by the heatedness of political argument today, the message of Timothy Sandefur'sThe Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Libertyis this: The temperature of today's politics is commensurate to the stakes of today's argument." -- George Will,The Washington Post"This is an excellent book. I was just going to write it myself.... This book should be in everyone's library." --Hadley Arkes"As a work of legal and American history, Sandefur's book is excellent.... At the legal level, Sandefur knows what is needed to defend our freedoms in the courts and law classrooms of America. MayThe Conscience of the Constitutionreach minds far and wide."  --Slade Mendenhall,The Objective Standard"A wonderful book.... One of the best minds on Con Law in the U.S." --Hugh Hewitt
