註釋In this work, which spans his entire career, as an expert on the justice system, Milton R. Konvitz analyzes the connections between the Torah and the American Constitution. He elaborates on the centrality of law both in America and in Judaism: the first bound to the Constitution and the Framers, the second bound to Revelation, expanding to a legal system fashioned and refashioned by human interpretation. Konvitz has long been considered a preeminent scholar on First Amendment rights, civil rights, and the law in America. These pieces, compiled here for the first time, gain new resonance as part of an ongoing theme-the accord of American democracy and the Jewish religious tradition.
