Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of a fundamental change in American legal thought, from a conception of law as something found in nature to one in which law is entirely a human creation. Before the late 19th century, natural law played an important role in the American legal system. Lawyers routinely used it in their arguments and judges often relied upon it in their opinions. Today, by contrast, natural law plays virtually no role in the legal system. When natural law was part of a lawyer's toolkit, lawyers thought of judges as finders of the law, but when natural law dropped out of the legal system, lawyers began thinking of judges as makers of the law instead. In The Decline of Natural Law, the eminent legal historian Stuart Banner explores the causes and consequences of this change. To do this, Banner discusses the ways in which lawyers used natural law and why the concept seemed reasonable to them. He further examines several long-term trends in legal thought that weakened the position of natural law, including the use of written constitutions, the gradual separation of the spheres of law and religion, the rapid growth of legal publishing, and the position of natural law in some of the 19th century's most contested legal issues. And finally, he describes both the profession's rejection of natural law in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the ways in which the legal system responded to the absence of natural law. The first book to explain how natural law once worked in the American legal system, The Decline of Natural Law offers a unique look into how and why this major shift in legal thought happened, and focuses, in particular, on the shift from the idea that law is something we find to something we make.

Excerpt: ...consent, from whence this obligation arises: when he became a member of the society, he consented, either expressly or tacitly, that he would in all instances conform himself to what should be the sense of the greater part of that society, to which he joins himself, so as to become a member of it. "Where the members of a society are equally divided in their opinions upon any point; there is no more weight of reason or of equity on one side than there is on the other. No business therefore can be done: and consequently all things must, upon such an equality of votes, continue in the same state, that they were in before, without having any change made in them. For this reason, says Grotius, where judges are equally divided in their opinions, as to acquitting or condemning a criminal, such criminal is acquitted. And in like manner, where they are equally divided upon a question of property, the possessor keeps the thing in dispute." "But though naturally the business of the society must stop, where the society is equally divided in opinion; yet by mutual agreement this case may be provided for several ways. Some one member of their blessings like the dew of heaven, upon the happy people who enjoy the good fortune of sitting under. their benign and salutary influence. But even when united, they are distinct exertions of the sovereign power; and when distributed into different branches they nevertheless are but parts of the supreme authority, constituting altogether but one great whole. Such then, young gentlemen, I take to be the origin of government: and it would next be an object of amusing speculation, to trace, as far as recorded history and the annals of the human family will enable us, its progress from the earliest...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the deep roots of natural law doctrines in America's political culture. Originally published in 1931, the volume shows that American interpretations of natural law go to the philosophical heart of the American regime. The Declaration of Independence is the preeminent example of natural law in American political thought?it is the self-evident truth of American society.Benjamin Wright proposes that the decline of natural law as a guiding factor in American political behaviour is inevitable as America's democracy matures and broadens. What Wright also chronicled, inadvertently, was how the progressive critique of natural law has opened a rift between and among some of the ruling elites and large numbers of Americans who continue to accept it. Progressive elites who reject natural law do not share the same political culture as many of their fellow citizens.Wright's work is important because, as Leo Strauss and others have observed, the decline of natural law is a development that has not had a happy ending in other societies in the twentieth century. There is no reason to believe it will be different in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses the questions philosophers have asked for centuries about the ground for man's actions. Why be moral? What is law? What are the limits of coercion within a just and free society? These and similar questions are ancient yet timely; and today, as always, they demand answers. Explicates the historical, theoretical, legislative and juridical aspects of natural law doctrine. The essayists reveal the comprehensiveness and, consequently, the usefulness of natural law theory in deriving human solutions to the problems confronting contemporary society.
