Crisis and Constitutionalism: Roman Political Thought from the Fall of the Republic to the Age of Revolution
Straumann, Benjamin (Alberico Gentili Fellow, Alberico Gentili Fellow, New York University School of Law)
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.
