Download or read book Crisis and Constitutionalism written by Benjamin Straumann. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis and fall of the Roman Republic spawned a tradition of political thought that sought to evade the Republic's fate--despotism. Thinkers from Cicero to Bodin, Montesquieu, and the American Founders saw constitutionalism, not virtue, as the remedy. This study traces Roman constitutional thought from antiquity to the Revolutionary Era.
