Abstract

Dr. Shankman’s paper is in conflict with Dr. Holloway’s paper on the most important issue raised by the two of them. Dr. Holloway interprets Madison, thefather of the Constitution, to teach that man is nothing more than a clever animal, and that man by reason can know only things that relate to his bodily desires and his longing for economic well-being. Dr. Shankman, on the other hand, asserts that the founders based the Constitution on natural law principles–immutable moral principles of right and wrong that can be known by the light of human reason. It appears that the reader is forced to choose between Dr. Holloway’s understanding of the founding and Dr. Shankman’s.
