DESCRIPTION:<p>This paper seeks to develop and defend a broadly Aristotelian account of constitutional legitimacy. Section one maps out similarities and differences between the Aristotelian <em>politeia</em> and modern constitutions. Having established the applicability of Aristotle&rsquo\;s theory of the <em>politeia</em> to contemporary debates on constitutional legitimacy\, in section two I argue that Aristotle&rsquo\;s appeal to the common advantage offers better material for a normative justification of the validity of the constitution than concepts such as constituent power and popular sovereignty.</p>\n\n<p>Dr George Duke is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Deakin University. His current research interests include natural law jurisprudence and the legal thought of Aristotle.</p>\n
