In Democracy in America, Tocqueville analyzed slavery chiefly from the standpoint of material self-interest. Although he occasionally condemned slavery as a violation of the laws and rights of humanity, he never explained his meaning or mentioned the Declaration. Tocqueville adopted a similar approach in France’s Caribbean colonies, appealing primarily to considerations of interest. When reaching for grander principles, he invoked France’s glorious fight for liberty, with Christianity playing an auxiliary role. By contrast, Lincoln made the principles of the Declaration central to his fight against slavery. Although he, too, recognized the importance of self-interest, he insisted that it be guided by the Declaration’s principles. Neither, however, relied on rational arguments alone. Each in his own way raised the question of Providence in bringing about democratic justice and liberty.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135737958","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}

He gives the reader a sharply etched picture of their natural rights philosophy. But their world is not ours, and they relied on premises that we cannot share and which cannot now be the basis of public law. Today, when courts interpret the First Amendment’s religion clauses, they must articulate a rationale that will not be unintelligible or repulsive to many citizens. The interpretation also ought not to inflame the very divisions that the clause was intended to prevent. The fundamental problem is that the framers believed both that we are endowed with natural rights and that the government is incompetent and untrustworthy to adjudicate religious questions. Their natural rights philosophy, however, ultimately rested on religious foundations if it rested on anything at all. For example, Madison relied either on revealed religion or on a fallacious argument from natural law. I will explain by focusing on the fallacy, which Muñoz does not appear to notice.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45593328","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}

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":null,"pages":null},"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":null,"pages":null},"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}

Only recently have historians and political theorists begun to correct this imbalance. However, even this newer interest has failed to fully grasp the significance of no. 37 or to reconsider its larger meanings. This review essay provides an extensive analysis of the key writings on Federalist 37 to document its emerging prominence. It argues that the collective impact of this scholarship points toward a latent paradigm change in how we understand Federalist 37 in relation to the better-known Federalist 10, to the ratification debate, and to Madison’s political thought. It suggests several fruitful avenues for additional scholarship. Finally, it argues that granting primacy to no. 37 helps us understand Madison as primarily a historical actor and see the role of The Federalist in the ratification debate more in a historical than a theoretical context.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45824285","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}

As Jared Loggins has argued in this journal (“Who Decides What We Should Do with Our Despair?,” Winter 2022), despair’s role is a question of political judgment: it is a decision to be made rather than an answer to be discovered. I argue that, by returning to the role of despair in nineteenth-century Black American political thought, we are able to enrich our political imagination concerning possibilities for despair and its counterpart, hope, in emancipatory politics. Maria Stewart offers us a vision of apocalyptic hope for the end of an unjust world, while Henry McNeal Turner despairingly declares that the Black freedom struggle must begin again.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46539260","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}
