Description

Social Contract Theory in American Jurisprudence examines how the United States Supreme Court has struggled to establish a coherent framework governing the relationship between state authority and individual rights. This Routledge Research volume argues that without an objective standard grounding jurisprudence, court decisions have oscillated unpredictably between freedom and authority, creating inconsistency across diverse legal issues from contractual liberties to privacy rights. The book reintroduces lessons from modern political philosophy to provide a principled solution to this persistent judicial inconsistency, offering scholars and legal professionals a theoretical foundation for understanding and resolving the tension between individual liberty and governmental power that continues to shape American constitutional law.

Key Features

Explores the Supreme Court's inconsistent approach to balancing individual liberty against state authority in constitutional interpretation.

Applies modern political philosophy and social contract theory to American jurisprudence and constitutional law.

Part of the Routledge Research in American Politics and Governance series, providing academic depth for legal scholars.

Addresses how judicial decisions have affected fundamental rights including privacy, contractual freedoms, and government regulation.
