What makes the administrative state morally legitimate in a constitutional republic? Supporters argue that administrative law has developed its own internal morality, constraining and legitimizing administrative power. But opponents claim that the administrative state has exceeded its constitutional bounds and is a threat to the common good that needs to be reined in by Congress and the courts. Join AEI and the Catholic University of America’s Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition for a discussion of the morality of the administrative state.

The Judicial Virtues

Ordain and Establish is a podcast of The Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT). 

CIT promotes scholarship that explores the relationship between the Catholic intellectual tradition and American constitutionalism. That tradition is deep and rich, including philosophical and theological accounts of law and politics by such figures as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. 

CIT’s primary focus is on theories of constitutional law, such as originalism, although it covers the relevance of the Catholic intellectual tradition for constitutional history, doctrine, and other fields of study.
