This book explores the very roots of liberty by examining the development of modern constitutionalism from its ancient and medieval origins. Derived from a series of lectures delivered by Charles Howard McIlwain at Cornell University in the 1938-39 academic year, these lectures provide a useful introduction to the development of modern constitutional forms. McIlwain explores what he calls "the two fundamental correlative elements of constitutionalism for which all lovers of liberty must yet fight" -- "the legal limits to arbitrary power and a complete political responsibility of government to the governed". Despotic power has risen to challenge constitutional governments in many countries, and within this text, McIlwain shows how constitutional safeguards that have been set against government by force have grown in the Western world. McIlwain also outlines the general principles of constitutionalism, especially as an Anglo-American tradition, and traces its development from the law and custom of the Roman Republic through the English common law to the establishment of Americas constitutional government. In Chapter I McIlwain writes, "For perhaps never in its long history has the principle of constitutionalism been so questioned as it is questioned today, never has the attack upon it been so determined or so threatening as it is just now. The world is trembling in the balance between the orderly procedure of law and the processes of force which seem so much more quick and effective...Whether in the end we decide for law or for force, ...we should retrace the history of our constitutionalism". In tracing the rise of constitutionalism from the ancient Greeks through the modern era, this brief volume on the history of constitutionalism in Western political thought is arguably the leading study of the legal limitations on the power of government.
在幾個關節點上都有不足。作者強調英格蘭憲政屬於自然成長,但如果議會對抗君權是現代憲政的有意識發明,而且忽視瞭gubernaculum和專權-革命憲政化的努力,這兩個點都需要考察洛剋以及光榮以降的英格蘭政體性質;同樣,古今之斷和西塞羅-亞裏士多德的關係也沒談清楚。不過仍是經典之作。

百年前的论述,仍有可取之处。本书重点讲述英国“治理权”与“审判权”的斗争。中世纪到现代的转型,中世纪的宪政企图赋予臣民法定权利以强制(但绝非暴力),来对抗国王的专断意志:而且,此种努力最后取得了成功。 现在回头来看这场斗争,人们不禁为之震惊:这是一场旨在构建...
