Summary
"This book crosses the usual boundaries of abstract legal theory to consider actual charter systems - legal systems with explicitly posited moral-political rights, such as those of Canada and the United States - as well as cases in constitutional adjudication, thus showing the worth of careful reflection on methodological and meta-theoretical issues for a comprehensive and clearly applicable account of a type of present-day legal system which is fast becoming the norm."--BOOK JACKET
