Sir William Blackstone and the Common Law (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

The rule of law is a cathedral we have to build brick by brick. But how are the bricks to be laid? Is there an order? How does one distinguish between cultural bricks and mortar? Or, facade? And, upon what foundation should these bricks rest? What rules should same-sex "marriage," the Academy, the Constitution, faith, homosexualism, and abortion "rights" play in this cultural project? This book examines these questions in the context of today's legal culture by exploring what it takes to build a lasting and beautiful cultural cathedral. Will the rule of law be a lasting thing of increasing beauty, or a hastily erected, unstable, rusting tin shack?
