(Politics as a Christian Vocation: 95; italics added). "fundamental" and "nonfundamental" rights was only another way of making Gamwell's distinction between "formative" and "substantive" rights. But I've since come to think that this can hardly be correct-for one reason because Gamwell himself speaks of "a fundamental substantive right" (Politics as a Christian Vocation: 95; italics added).
