Bøker av James E. Fleming

Argues that the right to privacy or autonomy should be grounded in a theory of securing constitutional democracy. This work seeks to secure the basic liberties that are preconditions for deliberative democracy - to allow citizens to deliberate about the institutions and policies of their government.

Fleming and McClain defend a civic liberalism that takes seriously not just rights but responsibilities and virtues. Issues taken up include same-sex marriage, reproductive freedom, regulation of civil society and the family, education of children, and clashes between First Amendment freedoms of association and religion and antidiscrimination law.
