Description

This foundational study examines how natural law doctrines shaped America's political culture from its earliest roots through the 20th century. Originally published in 1931, the volume traces natural law philosophy to the heart of the American regime, with the Declaration of Independence standing as the preeminent example of these principles in action. Benjamin Wright argues that natural law served as a guiding force in American political behaviour, yet proposes that its influence becomes inevitable to decline as America's democracy matures and broadens. The book offers essential historical insight into how philosophical principles embedded in America's founding documents reflect deeper commitments to natural law reasoning. This Library of Liberal Thought edition provides scholars, students, and political theorists with a critical examination of the intellectual foundations underlying American democratic institutions and constitutional thought.
