Theory of Liberty: The Constitution and Minorities - H.N. N. Hirsch - Hardcover

Arguing that minority rights were vitally important to the founding fathers, H. N. Hirsch presents an original and provocative look at issues such as affirmative action, abortion, and the rights of children, lesbians and gay men, mental patients, and the physically disabled. In an analysis which blends history, philosophy, law, and social science, Hirsch attacks both liberals who hide from history and conservatives who push for "original intent." He exposes the errors and hypocrisy of the current Supreme Court majority and argues that the Constitution's liberty can and should be interpreted to protect the rights of minority groups.Hirsch, H. N. is the author of 'Theory of Liberty: The Constitution and Minorities - H.N. N. Hirsch - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780415905855 and ISBN 0415905850.
