Hirschl delivers two blockbuster theses: That in most constitutional theocracies, 1) courts are the primary secular agents of government, and 2) the electorate usually has a choice between a secular party that is against redistribution of wealth and a more theological party that supports redistribution. This last thesis, especially, will be news to many of the book?s American readers, who are accustomed to a theological politics stridently opposed to redistribution. 606 $aConstitutional law$xReligious aspects 606 $aTheocracy$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aConstitutional law$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aTheocracy$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a342 700 $aHirschl$b Ran$0569576 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954777203321 996 $aConstitutional theocracy$94351940 997 $aUNINA
