Constitutionalism and the American Constitution Sample Clauses

Constitutionalism and the American Constitution. The civil liberties guaranteed in the American Constitution enjoy special respect because they provide both the formal political equality upon which the national democracy is built and a minimum level of privacy immune from political interference. According to the constitutionalist, the citizen who trades away political rights constricts rather than expands her liberties; the same is true of a person who by entering an illiberal association burdens her right to exercise certain civil liberties with the penalty of losing her home. Those who sign an illiberal social contract severely disempower their future selves, for when individuals voluntarily forsake constitutional protections, they risk enslaving themselves to their government or to one another.
