THE

STUDIES promotes research, teaching, and publication on the history and
theory of constitutionalism, with special emphasis on the Constitution
of the United States of America.

depth the
fundamental principles of the American Constitution and examines their
relevance to current cultural and political circumstances. A
primary
goal is to investigate and make known to the public ways of returning
the

federal
Republic.
Topics of continuing
interest to
CCS scholars include: What is Constitutionalism?; The Moral and
Intellectual
Foundations of the American Republic; Checks, Balances, and the Human
Condition;
The Significance of Federalism; The Responsibility of Judges; The Role
of Mediatiing Structures; Religion in the Constitutional Republic;
Education
and Constitutionalism; and Property in a Free Society.
