THE
CENTER
FOR CONSTITUTIONAL
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.
The Center explores in
scholarly
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
United States to its historic roots as a limited, constitutional, and
federal Republic.
Topics of continuing interest to CCS 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.
