From Hobbes' Leviathan to…

The study of such "transformations" offers us the opportunity to assess the soundness of the constitutional doctrines the judges may have used. In the following examination of the Supreme Court's reasoning in Buckley v. Valeo, Professor Strauber shows that legal argument, like other fo…
