This course will examine the historical and philosophical roots of Natural Law, including its formation in the ancient period and its development during the medieval period. We will then discuss the influence of Natural Law on the Framers of the U.S. Constitution and the struggle between positivism and natural law thinking in American law. We will conclude with an examination of the revival of natural law in the scholarship on constitutional interpretation.
