It thus clarifies the philosophical foundations on which the institutional structure of contemporary Puerto Rican society has been erected. Leader of the peaceful revolution which transformed Puerto Rico from a stricken land into a vital society, Muñoz is the founder of a new form of political association with the United States--the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico--which enriches not only American constitutional thought, but also the principles of federalism and democracy in general.
