Constitutional Journey in the United States - An Interview Book Constitutional
Journey in the United States invites the readers on an intellectual voyage and
offers a unique view to explore the current dilemmas and debates of the American
constitutional thinking from the Head of Center for International Law at the
Mathias Corvinus Collegium, Lénárd Sándor. Through probing, insightful, and
educational conversations with well-respected law professors and judges, leaders
of universities, law schools and prestigious lawyers? organizations, the author
reveals the crucial divisions and stakes as well as captivating anecdotes of
constitutional debates that underscore the importance of open, vivid and honest
public debates. Offering this view is especially refreshing and invigorating in
the rather technocratic and stifled atmosphere of European politics that tends
to evade honest debates on the questions of fundamental importance to the
communities and nations to Europe. As Benjamin Franklin famously pointed out at
the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention: ?A republic, if you can keep
it.? In this book, Lénárd Sándor showed the significance of this American
experience that could serve as an important lesson on how to reinvigorate
European public discourse.
