- W2267755556 abstract "In her essay 'On Civil Disobedience', Arendt revisits the concern with democratic law so evident in On Revolution. Critically, she emphasizes that the eighteenth-century revolutionaries in France and America 'ransacked' history, especially that of ancient Greece and Rome, in search of an alternative vision to that embodied in the legacy of Divine Command: 'they had in mind a concept of power and law whose essence did not rely on the command-obedience relationship and which did not identify power and rule or law and command' (Crises of the Republic). She explicitly identifies differing conceptions of law linked to the Greek nomos, Latin lex, and Hebrew torah. However, on her account, the founders of the American republic did not slavishly emulate these paradigms, but rather constructed the bricolage that would become the US Constitution. That said, the very expansiveness of Roman lex made it appealing for the Americans who aspired to found a republic but faced the difficulty of imagining one on a large scale. The Roman example held out the hope that law might connect diverse communities across wide spaces and that the principles inherent in a new beginning could extend in time across generations. For Arendt, following Machiavelli, it is crucial that Roman law resulted from the settlements that concluded wars both civil and imperial. Rejecting social contract theories of the emergence of the modern state, Arendt proposes instead a model of constituting power that emerges from political struggle. She underlines not only the continuing efficacy of the initial constitution-making but also its provision for ongoing augmentation through prescribed processes of amendment. The deployment of this paradigm culminates in her extraordinary proposal that the US Constitution might be amended to include a right of citizens to join together in acts of civil disobedience. I will try to recuperate from her analyses a positive conception of law as democratically produced." @default.
