- Rediscovering Blackstone.
William Blackstone's views on natural law, rights, and the relationship between individualism and community have been misrepresented and unjustly disparaged. Blackstone did not believe that principles of natural law could be used to deduce the answers to legal questions. He also acknowledged that property rights could be limited in the interest of the public good, that the law must adapt to changing circumstances, and that individualism and community both represent important values. Blackstone's 'Commentaries' were highly influential during the formative period of American law.
