The Crown and the Courts: Separation of Powers in the Early Jewish Imagination
David C. Flatto
The idea of the separation of powers, a bedrock of modern constitutionalism, has a deeper history. David Flatto uncovers striking antecedents in the writings of Jewish scholars and rabbis of antiquity. Under foreign rule, they constructed a vision of earthly separation of powers that made law and the courts, not the crown, supreme.
