Answering the charges against liberal theories of rights, James Fleming and Linda McClain develop and defend a civic liberalism that takes responsibilities and virtues-as well as rights-seriously. They provide an account of ordered liberty that protects basic liberties stringently, but not absolutely, and permits government to encourage responsibility and inculcate civic virtues without sacrificing personal autonomy to collective determination. The battle over same-sex marriage is one of many current controversies the authors use to defend their understanding of the relationship among rights, responsibilities, and virtues. Against accusations that same-sex marriage severs the rights of marriage from responsible sexuality, procreation, and parenthood, they argue that same-sex couples seek the same rights, responsibilities, and goods of civil marriage that opposite-sex couples pursue. Securing their right to marry respects individual autonomy while also promoting moral goods and virtues. Other issues to which they apply their idea of civic liberalism include reproductive freedom, the proper roles and regulation of civil society and the family, the education of children, and clashes between First Amendment freedoms (of association and religion) and antidiscrimination law. Articulating common ground between liberalism and its critics, Fleming and McClain develop an account of responsibilities and virtues that appreciates the value of diversity in our morally pluralistic constitutional democracy. 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 606 $aCivics 606 $aCivil society$zUnited States 606 $aCultural pluralism$zUnited States 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aCivics. 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aLiberalism 676 $a320.01/1 700 $aFleming$b James E$01044562 701 $aMcClain$b Linda C$01044563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462801803321 996 $aOrdered liberty$92470299 997 $aUNINA
