Description:

Harris. The words "constitutional" and "democratic" represent the gold standard of the contemporary policial lexicon. This course will elaborate a political theory of rule-of-law government by the people. Using classical works of policial theory, it sets out a systematic, multi-level picture of constitutional democracy as: a reflection of nature, an aspiration of humanity, a movement in civilization, a way of civic life for a people, a form of polity, an institutionalization of government, and a design for citizenship.
