In Reflections on Life, Death, and the Constitution, George Anastaplo investigates enduring issues concerning mortality and law, how branches of the American government handle these issues, and how they are addressed by the public. He explores how matters concerning life and death have been addressed throughout history-both prior to the formation of the United States and after. He also surveys efforts to balance individualism with citizenship and discusses cases in which religious doctrine is an important factor. In conjunction with Anastaplo's two previous books, Reflections on Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment and Reflections on Constitutional Law, this volume invites readers to contemplate various legal cases and how they can be usefully reconsidered, while also emphasizing the importance of the Constitution in developing concepts of right and wrong.
