Against Obligation

In "Against Obligation," author Abner Greene presents a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between citizens and the law. Published by Harvard University Press in 2012, this compelling hardback spans 352 pages and challenges the conventional belief that individuals are morally obligated to obey legal statutes. Greene argues that in a liberal democracy, the sources of authority are diverse, and the law must contend with various competing norms. He further asserts that constitutional interpretation is not fixed, either historically or through the rulings of the Supreme Court. This insightful analysis invites readers to reconsider their understanding of legal obedience and the moral implications of law in the United States. Whether you're a student of constitutional law or simply interested in the ethical dimensions of legal authority, "Against Obligation" is an essential addition to your library.
