  • "The rule of law is essential to a free society. In this book, Stephens makes the important argument that a law that shifts with the tides of time and public sentiment is a recipe for tyranny. - Clint Bolick, Institute for Justice, Washington, DC. The most attractive feature of Stephens' new book is his effort to root present-day controversies about property rights, freedom, and the role of government in the great literature of liberty that is America¹s political heritage. The struggle to liberate our markets and our minds is an old, even an ancient one. Stephens demonstrates that, to prevail in this critical struggle, we must replant the seeds of liberty that John Locke and others found centuries ago and nurture their growth into towering, protective trees of constitutional order. - John Hood, President, John Locke Foundation. This book is about American politics and law; it is also about the roots of the Contract with America. A logical place to find the intent of the Founders is in Locke, [and] Stephens makes a contribution by highlighting this. - Newt Gingrich. Understanding just what motivated and inspired America's founding generation is essential if we are to uproot threats to our liberty. George Stephens' appraisal of the thoughts and inspirations of James Madison and Co. is a very welcome addition to our understanding of these remarkable men and times. He shows how unfaithful we have been to their design. Donald J. Boudreaux, Chairman and Professor, Department of Economics, George Mason University; former President, Foundation for Economic Education. George M. Stephens, an expert on constitutional law and property law, taught economics for several years at North Carolina State University. He has written for several magazines and is contributing editor of the Carolina Journal of the John Locke Foundation."
