This is the first of four books by Harry V. Jaffa reprinted by the Claremont Institute in honor of his 80th birthday. This book was originally published by Oxford University Press in 1965.

Equality and Liberty: Theory and Practice in American Politics

Harry V. Jaffa

The Claremont Institute

This volume represents the second in a series. In 1999, in commemoration of Professor Harry V. Jaffa's 80th birthday, the Claremont Institute began to re-issue four of his out-of-print books. The present volume, originally published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 1975, joins Equality and Liberty (Oxford University Press, 1965) in publication.

The Conditions of Freedom: Essays in Political Philosophy

Politics & Social Sciences

Politics & Government

Edited by Larry P. Arnn and Douglas A. Jeffrey  The 6 chapters explain how the abandonment of America's natural law principles has spawned radical new public policies: sanction (and even subsidies) for pornography and sexual licentiousness, redistributive taxes that undermine the idea of property rights, an intrusive welfare state that wreaks destruction on the American character, and a bureaucratized, 'value-free' public school system. Each chapter, in turn, supplies the arguments and actions needed to reverse these policies and to return to policies that support the family.

Moral Ideas for America

Written by one of America's foremost political and legal theorists, Storm Over the Constitution examines the arguments of some of the leading proponents of the doctrine of "original intent." According to legal scholars such as Judge Robert Bork, Lino Gralia, Charles Cooper, and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a jurisprudence of original intent requires that judges bring no theory to the interpretation of the Constitution. In this brilliant new book, Harry Jaffa illustrates how judges under the influence of this definition of "original" intent particularly neglect the Declaration of Independence as a guide. Jaffa shows that this definition is, from the point of view of the American Founding, anything but original; moreover, it is openly hostile to the natural-rights theory of those who wrote and ratified the Constitution. The author implores Americans to follow the example set by Abraham Lincoln, who admired the Declaration of Independence more openly, interpreted it more deeply, and implemented it more practically than any other president before or since. Lincoln's achievement fulfilled a tradition of civic understanding and scholarship closer in time and purpose to the founders, and was thus more "original."
