Description

A Theory of Liberty offers a groundbreaking reexamination of the American constitution's approach to minority rights, originally published in 1992. H. N. Hirsch presents an original and provocative analysis that argues minority protections were central to the founding fathers' vision. This scholarly work integrates history, philosophy, law, and social science to explore contemporary issues including affirmative action, abortion, and the legal status of children, lesbians and gay men, mental patients, and the physically disabled. The book challenges conventional constitutional interpretation and provides essential context for understanding how minority rights fit within America's foundational legal framework, making it invaluable for legal scholars, political theorists, and anyone seeking deeper insight into constitutional protections and their application to historically marginalised groups.

Key Features

A Theory of Liberty examines the legal status of minority groups in the United States through an integrated analysis of constitutional history and political philosophy.

Hirsch's original interpretation argues that minority rights protections were vitally important to the American founding fathers and their constitutional design.

The book addresses contemporary issues including affirmative action, abortion, and the rights of children, lesbians and gay men, mental patients, and the physically disabled.

This Routledge Library Editions volume blends legal scholarship with social science perspectives to reframe constitutional debate around minority protections.

Published as part of the Political Thought and Political Philosophy series, the work provides scholarly depth for academic and professional legal study.
