Property and the Pursuit of Happiness presents an account of the crucial role the right to property understood in the comprehensive sense as the right that included every other right played in the American founding. This right was understood by the founders as the “pursuit of happiness,” which Edward J. Erler argues was considered to be both a natural right and a moral obligation. This book examines the works of John Locke, the English philosopher who had a profound influence on the American founding.

For the past forty years, Professor Edward Erler, has produced some of the finest legal commentary on constitutional law. He remains, perhaps, the most original, insightful, and provocative scholar of the American Constitution. His new book, Property and the Pursuit of Happiness; Locke, The Declaration of Independence, Madison and the Challenge of the Administrative State, shows why this is so. His insight into the Constitution is informed not merely by an understanding of the law, the judiciary, or the Constitution, but by an understanding of the theoretical and political conditions required in the defense of freedom and self-government. In elaborating the importance of property, as essential to the protection of rights, he reveals the absolute necessity of limited government constitutionalism as indispensable for the preservation of both.
