"Justice requires both some form of continuity at the level of general principle and some type of ongoing revision at the level of the particular law or practice. Higher law constitutionalism's dedication to the consensual determination of public standards of justice entails certain procedural continuities (the forms of democratic government and the rule of law) as well as a rejection of power as the ultimate justification of legal and social organization."
