The Constitution and the Public TrustRobert G. NatelsonThe Independence Institute; Montana Policy Institute 2004 Buffalo Law Review Vol. 52, No. 1077, p. 1082, 2004 Abstract: The American Founders adopted a fiduciary theory of government --- that is, they believed that public officials should comply with norms of behavior at least as demanding as those imposed on private trustees and other fiduciaries. To the extent possible, they incorporated that theory into the U.S. Constitution. Fiduciary theory is, therefore, an important aid to constitutional interpretation
