Madison’s music is the first book I’ve written in a long time that’s aimed at reaching a general public.
Most of my work up until now has been traditional
scholarly work.
It’s aimed at other lawyers, other law professors,
judges. But this one, "Madison’s Music,"
is designed to reach a broad, general audience.
And the reason is that, my thesis is that the
Bill of Rights is too important to be left
to lawyers and judges and that ordinary people
can read the Bill of Rights just as well as
a lawyer, just as well as a judge, if only
they’ll take the time to see the organization
and structure — what I call the music that
is in the text — and that allows you to
read the text - and from that full text, get
the full meaning of what Madison was trying to tell us.
