Winner of the 2005 Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty, Laissez Faire Books A hopeful work--provocative, documented, resolute, reasoned, readable--delightfully devoid of legalistic obtuseness. It lights up a road back to limited government, albeit a steep road. --Willian H. Peterson, Washington Times This book is terrific in demonstrating the natural rights background to our Constitution and demonstrating that all rights cannot be listed in the Constitution... [A]n excellent work. --Ronald Kahn, Law and Politics Book Review Barnett?s new book is a valuable asset for those interested in controversial topics of constitutional theory. --Z?th? Arslan, Political Studies Review Barnett?s book is perhaps the most important book about originalism since Robert H. Bork?s The Tempting of America... It is the best defense ever written of a libertarian or conservative/libertarian approach to constitutional law. --Steven G. Calabresi, Michigan Law Review
