The Framework

Legal Foundations

Constitutional structure, fiduciary and public-trust traditions, general-warrant history, and digital-search doctrine inform the framework.

Constitutional structure, fiduciary and public-trust traditions, general-warrant history, and digital-search doctrine inform the framework.

Delegated Public Authority

American governmental authority originates in the people and remains bounded by delegation and constitutional structure.

Fiduciary and Public Trust Foundations

Fiduciary and public-trust traditions support FC's account of constrained governmental power while remaining distinct from the positive-law question of a universal modern cause of action.

Fourth Amendment and General Warrants

Particularity and the general-warrant tradition provide a diagnostic for architectures that create perpetual, universal, discretionary, and delegable power.
