A deep respect for the just society outlined in the Constitution, and an unwavering desire to enact justice for all citizens is clear throughout, even as questions about the likelihood of achieving those ideals are explored.
The book provides a thorough review of the Constitution in language accessible for all readers. Ground breaking cases decided by the US Supreme Court from the 1800's to the present are discussed and offer opportunities for reflection and discussion.
In the concluding chapters of The Constitution's Vision of a Just Society, Judge Spaeth presents various philosophical traditions on the concept of justice. The book ends on a hopeful note that the power of reason will prevail, civil discourse will be restored, and the enlightenment of the Constitution will continue to guide our nation.
