Commentary on the Constitution from Plato to Rousseau looks at 14 historical figures who-by their words and/or deeds-set the stage for political thought before the U.S. Constitution was written. Rather than a book about what the founders took from previous thinkers and political figures, this is a book that allows the reader to consider the U.S. Constitution while learning about people whose genius has transcended time, from Plato to Rousseau.
