Thiswell-researched, thoughtful, and carefulwork seeks to illuminate how the founders understood both religious liberty and the separation of church and state. It concludes that the founders overwhelmingly viewed religious liberty as an inalienable natural right, while they disagreed quite sharply on what this meant for church-state relations. When it comes to understanding the meaning of both the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause and applying that meaning to our persistent conflicts over politics and religion, Muñoz’s book reveals that the meaning of these clauses is underdetermined (in the case of free exercise) and indeterminate (in the case of establishment). Given this, Muñoz engages in constructing the core constitutional meaning of the clauses fromwhat we do know. Yet this is, asMuñoz deftly articulates, a different project than simply interpreting the clauses. And Muñoz’s constructions of these clauses yield intriguing results that do not line up neatly with any current jurisprudential approach to either religious liberty or the separation of church and state.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":"12 1","pages":"397 - 405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47655288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muñoz","doi":"10.1086/725853","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725853","url":null,"abstract":"I find it deeply gratifying to have my work scrutinized so seriously by scholars whom I hold in such high regard. Two primary themes emerge in the four reviews: (1) whether a natural rights approach to American constitutionalism is possible in this century, and (2) whether I have adequately and accurately captured James Madison’s natural rights constitutionalism. Letme prefacemy response by returning to the idea that guides the book as a whole. Whether a recovery of natural rights constitutionalism is possible requires first that we understand the founders’ natural rights philosophy, including the philosophical and theological foundations on which it rests, and then that we deduce the constitutional doctrines that follow from it. My book’s primary aim is to articulate and explain the founders’ thought. Only after we comprehend their natural rights constitutionalism canwe then consider whether we ought to attempt to return to it in our law and politics. Andrew Koppelman thinks that such a recovery ought not be attempted because it is not possible. Referring to the founders and their natural rights political philosophy, hewrites that “theirworld is not ours, and they relied on premises that we cannot share and that cannot now be the basis of public law” (Koppelman 2023, in this issue, 392). I note that Koppelman draws an “ought” from an “is”—we should not rely on the founders’ political philosophy","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":"12 1","pages":"417 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48375323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Muñoz, Madison, Rights","authors":"M. Zuckert","doi":"10.1086/725480","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725480","url":null,"abstract":"My colleague Phillip Muñoz has written a book both very excellent and very provocative. Some of my fellow symposiasts have been provoked to dissent firmly from his normative orientation around the idea of natural rights. As someone who has written two books with “natural rights” in their titles, it can be no surprise that I am not provoked in this way. I wish to pursue further the natural rights approach developed by Muñoz. This is valid and desirable no matter what views we may have about natural rights because it is called for by our duty to the “original public meaning” of the Constitution, as Muñoz’s research reveals. The center of his book is an attempt to explain “the foundations” of the founders’ doctrines in their “philosophies and theologies of the natural right of religious liberty” (2022, 68). The chief source for the philosophic foundation is James Madison, whoseMemorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments is taken byMuñoz to provide the essential account of the founders’ shared understanding of that natural right (82). Paradoxically, however, Madison held to an “idiosyncratic”—that is, not widely shared—constitutional-legal doctrine of religious noncognizance that he inferred from that shared understanding.My goal in this note is to probe that paradox by,first, reconstructingMadison’s position in a somewhat different and more direct way thanMuñoz does and, second, asking whether Madison is correct in believing that noncognizance is the correct constitutional doctrine following from the natural right of religious liberty. The idea of a natural right to religious liberty was extremely widespread in founding-era America, but philosophic arguments explaining or defending that","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":"12 1","pages":"413 - 416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49087791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
