Description
In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln declared ours a "government of the people, by the people, [and] for the people."

Let me ground this intuition in political and constitutional theory. There is one question that is absolutely essential to this discussion: Just how unrestrained ought our legislative authority be in a constitutional democracy that seeks to protect vested individual rights?
