« The Constitution is different from ordinary statutes in one striking way. The Constitution is foundational of other law, so Hercules’ interpretation of the document as a whole, and of its abstract clauses, must be foundational as well. It must fit and justify the most basic arrangements of political power in the community, which means it must be a justification drawn from the most philosophical reaches of political theory. »
