DESCRIPTION:When the Islamic empire emerged in the seventh century\, it fa
 ced a twofold challenge: socializing its population to commit to a unified
  state that curtailed previous freedoms while subjecting itself to the req
 uirement to adhere to the teachings of the religion through which it legit
 imized itself. In this presentation\, I argue that this dual challenge cry
 stallized in a debate about the rule of law that emerged as early as the f
 irst generation of Islam. The debate produced a distinctly constitutional 
 political theory that came to structure classical Islamic law.\nSpeakers:\
