Legality and Legitimacy is sure to provide a compelling reference point in contemporary debates over the challenges facing constitutional democracies today. In addition to Jeffrey SeitzerтАЩs translation of the 1932 text itself, this volume contains his translation of SchmittтАЩs 1958 commentary on the work, extensive explanatory notes, and an appendix including selected articles of the Weimar constitution. John P. McCormickтАЩs introduction places Legality and Legitimacy in its historical context, clarifies some of the intricacies of the argument, and ultimately contests SchmittтАЩs claims regarding the inherent weakness of parliamentarism, constitutionalism, and the rule of law.
