"Having written extensively on various aspects of the American constitutional order, Edward S. Corwin is considered a leading constitutional scholar of the twentieth century. Alpheus Mason described Corwin's writings as 'sources of learning and understanding--hallmarks to emulate and revere.'" --Publisher's Website Edward S. Corwin connects the Western European experience to the American founding, providing a bold and accurate outline of the tradition behind the 'higher law' of the United States and places in historical context the political philosophy underlying the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
