Every cohort of voters may dream of being 'the people' under the sway of serial visions of sovereignty; or understand itself, more modestly, as co-author of a constitutional project in a cross-generational sequence rooted in the past and extending into the future. This book offers a theory of democratic sovereignty and constituent power grounded in John Rawls's political liberalism.
