This Article offers a prolegomenon to the basic problems of constitutional design rather than prescribes any particular values, institutional arrangements to secure those values, or means to obtain the best fit between a larger culture and a given political order. My purpose is to illuminate questions that confront constitutional architects who would strengthen an existing constitutional order, thoroughly revise that order, or found a new political system. I make no effort to solve more specific difficulties facing builders trying to carry out the architects' general plans. Thus, my objective is to clarify choices for designers of a constitutional order rather than to produce a blueprint.

Customary international law is the unwritten "law" of the international community that results from a general and consistent practice of states followed by them from a sense of legal obligation. Today's customary international law is the closest modern analogue of the eighteenth-century "law of nations." This article will use the term "customary international law" when discussing the present and recent past and the term "law of nations" when discussing the eighteenth-century Founding era. The central claim of this article is that the individual conception of the Law of Nations Clause is correct as far as it goes, but it is not the whole story. While the Clause was certainly intended to allow Congress to regulate domestically the conduct of individuals, and while Congress, the Supreme Co...
