America's Constitutional Soul

Focusing on the elections of 1980, 1982, and 1984, Mansfield critiques contemporary conservatism for its ignorance of the political theory implicit in the Constitution. ''Provides `food for thought' for both `left' and `right,' and in particular for the American citizens about whom this book is concerned.''--Bradley A. Kletscher, Constitutional Commentary.The Johns Hopkins Series in Constitutional Thought.Sotirios A. Barber and Jeffery K. Tulis, Series Editors.
