. Doctoral Dissertation: My dissertation Crown Under Law: Richard Hooker, John Locke and the Scholastic Origins of Modern Constitutionalism proposes to explore the ideas of natural law, sovereignty, consent and compact in the thought of the 16th century Anglican Thomist, Richard Hooker. It further endeavors to show how these ideas profoundly shaped the later development of English constitutionalism, particularly the work of John Locke, who makes frequent reference to Hooker in the Two Treatises . The reading of Locke’s political thought that emerges from this study challenges the broadly influential interpretation of Leo Strauss and his followers.
