The Conscience of the Constitution

In his thought-provoking work, Timothy Sandefur presents a compelling challenge to conventional views of constitutional law, asserting that the Constitution was crafted primarily to ensure liberty rather than to empower democracy. He critiques the legal community's focus on democracy, suggesting that it has led to an expansion of government power that undermines individual rights. Sandefur argues for a reinterpretation of the Constitution through the lens of the Declaration of Independence, positioning it as the true moral compass of the nation's foundational law.
