      Fritz Kern's study delves into the foundations of early constitutional law in the medieval state, emphasizing justice, legal supremacy, and the cooperative relationship between monarchs and subjects. He investigates how medieval canonists and jurists perceived the balance of rights between rulers and the populace, tracing these ideas back to church doctrine and early German political structures. This analysis not only illuminates the origins of constitutional theory but also contributes to the understanding of modern liberalism, making it a significant work in legal history.
