"Barber elegantly (and convincingly) demonstrates that, once
negative constitutionalists impose on government a duty to advance
the public welfare by punishing theft and fraud and by enforcing
contracts, they concede that there is a constitutional duty to help
the less fortunate. Issues of how to do so then become issues of
practical judgment and political prudence."--Walter F. Murphy,
McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Emeritus, Princeton
University
"Contrary to the negative-rights vision of the Constitution that
pervades the thinking of liberal and conservative constitutional
theory, this superb book demonstrates that the general welfare is a
primary obligation of government under the Constitution."--Ronald
Kahn, James Monroe Professor of Politics, Oberlin College
"In this brilliant book Sotirios Barber follows The Federalist,
arguing for a broad and robust understanding of what it means to
promote the general welfare."--Jeffrey K. Tulis, University of
Texas, Austin

"This book is extraordinarily important. It is the most
ambitious and realized work of constitutional theory that argues
for a positive benefits model of the Constitution. It is also
exceptionally well written. The prose is forceful, engaging, and
eloquent; the tone is serious and commanding, though disarmingly
conversational and accessible. Barber's arguments are at once
boldly unconventional and yet derived from traditional sources like
Lincoln and The Federalist Papers."--James E. Fleming,
FordhamUniversity School of Law
""Welfare and the Constitution" engages in extensive, subtle,
and sophisticated inquiry into the obligations that the federal
Constitution imposes on government."--Lee Anne Fennell, University
of Texas School of Law
