Liberty First: Legal System and Property Rights

FMF Policy Agenda

Summary

Legal and physical constraints on the power of the state are foundationally important to achieving economic freedom. The former is manifested in constitutionalism – the doctrine of jurisprudential limitations on the scope, size, and authority of government – and the latter is manifested in private property – that physical domain into which no third party, including government under most circumstances, may enter without consent.
