The political morality of liberal democracy /Michael J. Perry. - 1 online resource (vii, 216 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Liberal democracy and human rights -- Liberal democracy and religious faith -- The right to moral equality -- The right to religious freedom -- Beyond religious freedom: the right to moral freedom -- Religion as a basis of lawmaking -- Abortion -- Same-sex unions -- Protecting constitutionally entrenched rights: the courts'--in particular, the U.S. Supreme Court's--proper role -- Conclusion: in the matter of the adoption of John Doe and James Doe.

In this important new work in political and constitutional theory, Michael J. Perry elaborates and defends an account of the political morality of liberal democracy: the moral convictions and commitments that in a liberal democracy should govern decisions about what laws to enact and what policies to pursue. The fundamental questions addressed in this book concern (1) the grounding, (2) the content, (3) the implications for one or another moral controversy and (4) the judicial enforcement of the political morality of liberal democracy. The particular issues discussed include whether government may ban pre-viability abortion, whether government may refuse to extend the benefit of law to same-sex couples and what role religion should play in the politics and law of a liberal democracy.
