This edited volume in American constitutionalism places the Supreme
Court's declaration of same-sex marriage rights in U.S. v. Windsor
(2013) and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) within the context of the
Court's developing understanding of the legal and social status of
marriage and the family. Leading scholars in the fields of
political science, law, and religion examine the roots of the
Court's affirmation of same-sex rights in a number of areas related
to marriage and the family including the right to marry, equality
and happiness in marriage, the right to privacy, freedom of
association, property rights, parental power, and reproductive
rights. Taken together, these essays evaluate the extent to which
the Court's recent marriage rulings both break with and derive from
the competing principles of American Constitutionalism.
This volume provides a fresh perspective on current democratic
theory and practice by recovering the rich evaluations of democracy
in the history of political thought. Each author addresses a single
thinker's reflections on the virtues and defects of democracy and
the relationship between democracy and other regimes. Together,
these essays explore the tensions within the democratic way of life
that arise from an attachment to equality, liberty, citizenship,
law, and the divine. Above all, this work aims at recovering a more
complex understanding of democracy, connecting the perennial
questions of political philosophy to the perplexities and crises of
modern democracy.
