Review
Harvey C. Mansfield displays his formidable intellectualism and classical scholarship in support of the proposition that the American constitution possesses a formal truth drawn from its foundations and exerted through its development... In what is a provocatively trenchant book, Mansfield takes relish in propelling his readers down the rats' maze of liberal arguments supporting a conservative outlook. Herein lies the real soul of American politics.
(Political Studies )Provides 'food for thought' for both 'left' and 'right,' and in particular for the American citizens about whom this book is concerned.
(Bradley A. Kletscher Constitutional Commentary )
