Thank you for the effort. Excellent read; moreover, you mentioned to emphasize precisely the points I would have emphasized also.

I believe that as we witness a failure of constitutional republican government to safeguard freedom, a social theory that acknowledges, with the French, the objective and universal character of natural rights, and, with the British, the critical role of traditional well-constructed institutions of government, will emerge.

Man-oh-man, there is a fruitful speculation worthy of its own thread sometime.

I would say that a small synthsis is possible. It exists in the Natural Law doctrine and applies only to animating the Legislative force.
