Here for the first time is the story of how a few dozen early American lawyers, led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, used their legal skills to conceive, initiate, and execute a revolutionary plan for an entirely new form of government. They called it a Government of Laws, and enshrined it in the Constitution, which could not have been adopted without their many deft and daring legal maneuvers. The legal system which was nurtured by the Government of Laws has evolved into the American Rule of Law, the only system in the world which allows all citizens access to justice. Even in other democracies, the entire middle class is denied access by artificial barriers like the Loser Pays rule, prohibitive filing fees, and the requirement to pay cash for legal services instead of permitting fees based on results. Only in the United States could cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Ralph Nader v. General Motors be brought to court. This broad access, established and maintained by the Founding Lawyers' modern-day successors, serves as a form of Citizens' Checks and Balances against oppression by superior forces, whether governmental, business, or wealthy individuals. But citizens' access is under constant attack from lobbyists paid by cigarette manufacturers and other destructive businesses. Americans need to appreciate and protect their unique access to justice, and encourage other nations to remove the artificial barriers which shut most of their citizens out of their own courts.
