Abstract

From a rural upbringing in the 1940s and ’50s to academia and law, eventually, and then to executive service for eight years in the Reagan administration, the creation of the Cato Institute’s Center for Constitutional Studies and the Cato Supreme Court Review, discussions with judges and justices, and far more, mine has been an odyssey I never would have imagined or could have planned. Only in America. Drawing on my doctoral dissertation on the theory of rights, my life’s work has been dedicated to the defence of America’s philosophical foundations, especially as our courts have been authorized to secure them. I’m pleased to say that at this point in our history, the Constitution we inherited from classical liberalism is now back in play.
